Center for Student Accommodations

The Center for Student Accommodations provides reasonable accommodations and support services to students with disabilities. In compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Amendments Act (ADAAA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, we work to provide an accessible college experience for students with permanent or temporary disabilities. As per these laws, the office works to ensure that otherwise qualified students are provided equal access to the benefits of the Manhattanville College experience.

The Center for Student Accommodations works in collaboration with all entities of the college campus in order to foster awareness and inclusion of students with disabilities as equally contributing members to the Manhattanville Community. With the focus on building students’ executive functioning skills in relation to their academics, the Center for Student Accommodations partners with students to empower them to take ownership of the college academic journey and to support them as they navigate the college curriculum. By modeling problem-solving strategies, our staff helps to promote self-determination and self-advocacy skills in order to enhance the student’s ability to address challenges. These are skills the students will carry with them beyond their years at Manhattanville. The Center for Student Accommodations Services also strives to increase the positive dialogue surrounding disabilities, promoting the “people first” approach and communicating the message that disability is an integral part of diversity. In this spirit, the Center for Student Accommodations actively seeks to create an environment that embraces all students.
