The mission of the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities is to support the University’s commitment to equity and diversity by providing support services and academic accommodations to students with disabilities. We share information, promote awareness of disability issues, and provide support of a decentralized system of access for students within the University community.
Good news! The Domestic Student Health Insurance Plan (DSHIP) premium price will be significantly lower starting with the upcoming 2017/18 plan. The DSHIP will have the same coverage and benefits as it had in 2016/17, but the annual premium will be lowered from this year’s cost of $5,094 to approximately $1,875.
In a 2016 study titled, ‘Sleeping while disabled, disabled while sleeping’, Dr. Benjamin Reiss notes that nearly every disability diagnosed today entails some sort of sleep disruption ― although the nature of and reasons for this disruption vary from person to person. Dr. Reiss adds that sleep-related issues are often the most difficult aspect of living with a disability. “Night is often when social isolation and vulnerability are most profound,” he writes. “In addition, caretakers themselves often find their own sleep profoundly disrupted, whether this occurs in a family setting or an institutional space.”
As we move into the homestretch, the final stretch, of this semester and academic year, we want to remind you of the CAPS services that students can use the same day or within the same week.
