Resources on Campus

As noted on its webpage, the Disabled Students Program (DSP) at the University of California, Santa Barbara works to "ensure full participation and equal access to all educational activities and classes at UCSB, and to facilitate student success for students with disabilities."

DSP demonstrates that providing academic accommodations for students is not a one-person job. Instead, it takes a team to provide the necessary resources for students with disabilities. That being said, DSP is also available to instructors who have questions or concerns about how to help students.
