Student Disability Services provides assistance to students with varying degrees and types of disabilities in order to maximize educational opportunity and academic potential. Types of disabilities that students have who are served by Student Disability Services include mobility impairments, visual impairments, hearing impairments, speech impairments, specific learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, chronic health disorders, psychological disabilities, and temporary disabilities. Students seeking services must provide recent documentation (within five years) of their specific disability. Although a student may be eligible for services, specific accommodations are not extended by Student Disability Services unless they are requested. A student has the right to choose to use only a few of the accommodations available or to completely refuse special help.

Please contact the Coordinator of Academic Services, Linda Casalina at Kent State University Ashtabula for further assistance with your disability-related concerns at (440) 964-4304 or casalina@ashtabula.kent.edu.
