Established in 1976, the Disability Support Service (DSS) at the University of Maryland, College Park has been steadily growing from its original clientele of 7 persons to over 1000.
The mission of the Disablility Support Service is to coordinate services that ensure individuals with disabilities equal access to University of Maryland College Park programs. DSS approaches this mission in three ways:
-
We provide and coordinate direct services for students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors with disabilities. Services are tailored to meet the needs of individuals based on their specific disabilities.
-
We educate and provide consultation to University faculty, staff, and administrators in order to increase their awareness and sensitivity toward individuals with disabilities.
- We provide students and staff with disabilities the opportunity to gain the skills necessary to effectively advocate for themselves within the University community.
