Office of Disability Services (ODS)
Our
Mission
The Office of Disability Services is dedicated to the philosophy that all Rutgers University students are assured equal opportunity, access and participation in the University's courses, programs, activities, services and facilities. We recognize that diverse abilities are a source of strength, empowerment, and enrichment for the entire university community and we are committed to the elimination of physical, instructional, and attitudinal barriers by promoting awareness and understanding throughout the university community.
Our
Vision
The Office of Disability Services at Rutgers strives to become a model program for students with disabilities in higher education. We are committed to developing a comprehensively accessible and universally designed University that nurtures the full participation and contribution of every individual. Our team strives to provide the necessary tools, resources and supports for individuals with disabilities to become responsible decision-makers and self-advocates in charge of their own future. We envision a campus community where all individuals are welcomed, valued and encouraged to be contributing members.
When do we

Inclusion is not:
- clustering people with disabilities into one home, classroom, workplace, or social center
- giving "special privileges" to people with disabilities
- feeling sorry for people with disabilities

their best lives

TRIZ Activity
Make a list of all you can do to make sure that you achieve the WORST result imaginable with respect to disability inclusion here
Go down this list item by item and ask yourselves, "Is there anything that we are currently doing that in any way, shape, or form resembles this item?" Be brutally honest in making a list of all your counterproductive activities/programs/procedures
Go through the items on your second list and decide what first steps will help you stop what you know creates undesirable results.
What first steps did you come up with?
How do you help?
- Connect student to Office of Disability Services (ODS)
- Create an environment that allows people to be who they wish to be
- Be accessible when creating programs
- Learn about different resources that are available
- ASK if you don't know!
How do you help (cont.)
- Respect boundaries: just because a student confides in you, does not mean
they have an obligation to tell you how/why it happened
- Respect strengths: a student may need help, but they do not need to be
"babied." Focus on their strengths, not the weaknesses you perceive
- Respect identities: allow the student to define how they want
to be known or how they want to be identified
