Welcome
The Disability Services Office (DSO) assists
students with disabilities to access the many resources at Brookdale. The
College provides numerous academic opportunities, cultural enrichment and a
wide array of social activities. Adjusting to college life and its academic
demands requires advisement, support and a great deal of information.
At Brookdale there are many students with disabilities. A recent Student
Satisfaction Survey of students with disabilities indicated that they find a
welcoming and supportive environment at Brookdale. We are continuing to make
services and facilities even better, and are committed to providing the physical
facilities and academic environment that enable our students to reach their
academic goals.
The following offers an overview of the services offered by the Disability
Services Office. However, we suggest
that prospective students attend an Information Session for prospective
students and their parents during the junior or senior year of high school.

Who Qualifies?
If you self-identify through the Disability
Services Office, provide appropriate documentation of your disability and
request specific services, you will qualify for services and accommodations
which are appropriate at the college level.
Students have a wide variety of disabilities--the services and accommodations
that they receive are just as varied. Our students with disabilities are
treated as individuals, and their needs are handled on a case-by-case basis
with high confidentiality standards.
You will be treated the same way.
