Our Mission:

The mission of Delta State University’s Accessibility Services is to provide reasonable accommodations to ensure that students with disabilities are afforded equal educational opportunities. ODS seeks to ensure that qualified students with disabilities are provided equal access while maintaining the integrity of the university. By providing direction, offering resources, and coordinating appropriate accommodations based on federal laws, regulations, and individual need(s), the department’s administration and staff encourage and support self-advocacy among students being served. Being student-centered in nature, the department strives to convey a vision for academic success and a goal of developing confident, independent, life-long student learners. Achieving reasonable accommodations for a student with a disability involves shared responsibility between the students, faculty, and staff.
