Access-Ability Services at the University of Hartford provides accommodations and services to students with disabilities to ensure a university experience that gives individuals with disabilities the same access to programs, opportunities and activities as all other students.
Our services are designed to meet the unique educational needs of students with documented disabilities such as learning disabilities, AD/HD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, acquired brain injuries, psychiatric disabilities, physical disabilities, chronic medical conditions, deafness and hearing impairments, and blindness and visual impairments.
We engage in an interactive process with each student and review requests for accommodations on a case-by-case basis. Accommodations are determined based on the nature, impact, and functional limitations of a student’s documented disability. In determining reasonable accommodations, we consider each student’s condition(s), history, experience, request, and the unique characteristics of each course and program.
Students can begin the process for requesting accommodations by submitting current documentation of a disability to Access-Ability Services. Please see our Documentation Guidelines for more information.
