Disability Resources Logo Disability Resources (DR) is open year-round in Academic Support Programs, located on the ground level of the Stevenson Union, below the bookstore.

We provide accessibility for students, ensuring an equitable playing field for all of SOU's programs, courses, and other learning environments.
DR also serves as a resource to faculty and staff in assuring this access for students.

Summer 2021 Disability Resources will have limited open office hours Monday-Thursday 9am-2pm and will be operating remotely, or by appointment in person, for the following Raider Ready Fridays:

June 25th, July 16th, July 30th, and August 20th

We will also remain responsive via online platforms and will be holding Zoom or phone appointments.

New incoming students to Disability Resources, please fill out an AIMS application and our staff will contact you to schedule an intake appointment after completion.

For returning students who are already registered with DR, please reach out to us at dr@sou.edu for scheduling.

Need to Meet with Us?

Our first priority is to keep our students safe, therefore we have moved away from in person meetings* but we will still be available to support our students through email.

During this time we are here to fully support you and are able to schedule meetings over the phone, or through video conferencing software such as Zoom.

To schedule an appointment, please email us at dr@sou.edu and we will connect you with the most appropriate staff. We will still conduct initial intake appointments. To start your intake process please fillout an AIMS application, and our staff will reachout after completion.

We are committed to serving you and keeping you safe. We will continue to consult with university and CDC guidelines to inform our decisions regarding office hours and meetings.

Do you have Access or Accessibility Concerns?

The transition to online and remote instruction for classes can be overwhelming, and daunting. At Disability Resources it is a priority for us to help ensure your access to your courses and materials is equitable, and follows ADA guidelines.

If you feel that your course is inaccessible in any way, please send us an email at dr@sou.edu with the subject line “Student Accessibility Concern.” We will then open a conversation with you on the course, and what materials or aspects of the course may be inaccessible.

After this conversation we will figure out the best course of action, either through providing further online tools, or outreach with the instructor.

We are here to engage our campus in a dialogue of the importance of accessibility for inclusion and develop an approachable process for accessible design.
