The Dean of Students Office works in collaboration with the Ballotti Learning Center, Health Services, the Counseling Center, and others to provide students with disabilities with timely, comprehensive, and appropriate services while enrolled at Suffolk.

Each semester, over 200 undergraduate and graduate students at Suffolk University have specifically identified themselves as having a physical, learning, medical, or psychiatric disability, or have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). Students with learning disabilities and AD/HD represent the largest population of students with disabilities. Some disabilities are readily visible; more frequently, they are not and may be difficult to identify. It is not unusual for a student to have multiple disabilities.

This section of the website is designed to provide general information, procedural clarification, and resources to assist faculty in facilitating learning for students with disabilities.
