Northeastern University and Disability Access Services are committed to providing disability services that enable students who qualify under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act to participate fully in the activities of the university. To receive accommodations through DAS, students must provide appropriate documentation that demonstrates a current significant limitation and the corresponding need for adjustments or services. DAS evaluates the information provided by students and their clinicians on a case-by-case basis and makes an individualized determination about requested adjustments based on an informed and interactive process. Adjustments and services are available for students with the following diagnoses, among others:
- Learning disabilities and/or ADHD
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Chronic or degenerative disorders
- Hearing loss
- Mobility impairments
- Psychiatric disorders
- Traumatic or acquired brain injury
- Vision impairments
Students should provide documentation to DAS at their earliest convenience to allow for sufficient time for review. After the documentation has been reviewed, a disability specialist will contact the student regarding appropriate next steps.
