The mission of Disability Services at Olin (DSO) is to provide equal opportunities and equal access to education, programs, and activities for all students with disabilities at Olin College of Engineering.
We engage in an interactive process with each student and review requests for accommodations on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, we want to educate all members of the Olin community around access and disability rights. Olin Disability Services ascribes to a social model of disability and we aim to reduce barriers to access.
DSO collaborates with and empowers individuals who have documented disabilities by working together proactively to determine reasonable and appropriate accommodative measures. We value a community approach to understanding disability as an integral part of diversity and working in collaboration with stakeholders on campus to promote a holistic and informed approach to accessibility.
