ACCESS @ UCONN
Center for Students with Disabilities
According to national statistics, 11% of higher education students have a disability (GAO, 2009). This means, at UConn, 3,352 students have a disability (based on Fall 2013 enrollment). New, emerging populations of students with complex needs, who often require multiple accommodations and services across the University, will continue to increase over the next several years. These include students with severe psychiatric disabilities, students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (including diagnoses of Pervasive Developmental Disorder and Asperger’s Syndrome), students with multifaceted chronic health conditions, and military veterans.
