Mission

	The mission of the Accessibility Services Office at Adirondack Community College is to provide students with disabilities equal educational opportunity by ensuring full access to all college programs and facilities. The Accessibility Services Office works in conjunction with the Learning Specialist, faculty and administrative staff to guarantee that all qualified students are afforded the same collegiate opportunities available to the general college population, that no student be denied the benefits of any college program or activity, and that no student be subjected to discrimination. The Accessibility Services Office strives to maintain the quality and integrity of Adirondack Community College’s academic standards and programs while providing reasonable accommodations in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. As defined under these provisions, a student with a disability is a person who has a physical or mental impairment, a record of such impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment that significantly impacts one or more major life activity, which may include walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning or the ability to care for oneself.
