The mission of the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources is to foster equitable experiences for students with disabilities at Saint Louis University. The Center provides academic and housing accommodations for students, supports faculty’s implementation of accommodations within the classroom, and advocates for accessibility campus-wide.
Guiding Values
The Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources:
- Recognizes disability through the framework of equity and inclusion. This prioritizes the destigmatization of the image of disability and promotes disability initiatives on Saint Louis University’s campus.
- Sees disability as holistic, encompassing the mind, the body, and the spirit. We consider all facets of well-being when meeting with students and determining appropriate and reasonable accommodations.
- Exists as a resource for the SLU community as an educational and supportive platform to ensure equitable student experiences are present in all areas of student life on campus.
- Validates students in their navigation of disability identity and their right to an accessible campus.
- Strives to empower students by encouraging a sense of belonging within the disability community and guiding students to self-advocate and invest in their success.
