Our Core Values
Disability is a natural part of humanity.
Disability is vital to the development of communities.
Disability is a social/political category that includes individuals from many different backgrounds.
Equal access cannot be achieved through accommodation alone.
Design that promotes inclusion is a matter of social justice and civil rights.
Helping individuals requires creativity.

Getting Help from Disability Access Services

Contact our office to schedule an appointment. If you have it, please bring documentation of your disability with you to your appointment. You may also mail, email, or fax documentation to our office prior to your appointment.

DAS staff will review your documentation and discuss the impact of your disability with you in order to determine what is needed to provide equal access to all our programs. If you don't have documentation, you can still meet with DAS staff to discuss your situation.
