DSD Communique for Spring 2008
DSD's semesterly newsletter, the Communique.

The role of Disabled Student Development (DSD) is to provide access and opportunity for students with disabilities so they might achieve their full potential. DSD seeks to find the balance point between the legal rights of students with disabilities and the institutional standards of Ball State University. In serving as the "clearinghouse" for all student disability-related issues at Ball State, DSD determines the eligibility to receive accommodations and then works cooperatively with the student, faculty member or other staff to assign appropriate and reasonable accommodations. This website is useful for prospective and enrolled students, their parents, as well as faculty and staff members.
