Disability & Neurodiversity

Navigating the demands of college life can be overwhelming for students with any type of disability. Despite resources offered to support students on campus and in the community, the stigma of living with a disability continues to impact our community and society, causing students to feel unseen, unworthy and less than.

CaPS acknowledge the emotional toll that this stigma can have on our student’s well-being. At CaPS, we see your strengths, courage, and perseverance and we are here to support you. We also encourage students to connect with Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë's Office of Disability Resources and utilize the extensive list of resources that they offer for Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë students.
