Welcome to the Office of Disability Services

Welcome! We are happy to provide you with information about the Office of Disability Services at Oberlin College.

Oberlin College has a long and rich history of recognizing and supporting diversity including provision of services for students with disabilities. The college actively continues support for students with disabilities through the Office of Disability Service, college staff, and college faculty.

The mission of the Office of Disability Services is to facilitate access to all programs, services, and activities that are provided at Oberlin College while encouraging and helping students to develop student self-advocacy. We not only are interested in assisting students while they are students at Oberlin College, but we also hope to help students develop self-advocacy skills that they can use in their future.
