Office of Disability Services
Welcome to Manhattanville’s Office of Disability Services and thank you for taking the time to view our webpage. The information listed on this webpage is very important and I hope you find it a useful resource. The information includes the following topics: 504 and ADA, Manhattanville’s ADA Committee, testing and documentation that is needed to acquire accommodations, reasonable accommodations, assistive technology, and information on how the faculty is alerted to a student’s needed accommodations. Advocacy is also explained in detail and is an important skill that you, the student with a disability, must acquire. Workforce Recruitment is also available at Manhattanville. This is a Federal Initiative which is also explained. The process for acquiring accommodations for summer courses and the process for transfer students is also explained. The College grievance procedure is also listed.
Selecting a college that has the appropriate support programs and accommodations for you is most essential. I recommend that during the College application process, you call and arrange an appointment to meet with the Director of Disability Services and/or the Director of HELP to determine whether the programs at Manhattanville meet the level of support that you require.
