Services Provided by the SSLD Office

Murray State University is committed to equal educational opportunities for all academically qualified students. There are certain legal entitlements extended to students with disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and The Americans Disabilities Act of 1990. These laws are designed to remove barriers to "equal participation". Specifically they prohibit discrimination on the basis of a handicap and mandate "reasonable accommodations" for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, seizure disorders, and other cognitive impairments.

All accommodations provided by the SSLD Office are based upon each student's individual needs. These needs will be determined after a mandatory one-on-one consultation with Cindy Clemson, SSLD Coordinator.
