Susan McMenamin, Director
DSS works with students to ensure access to every opportunity for learning and personal growth so that they may participate as fully as possible in campus life. At the same time, students with disabilities are responsible for making their needs known and meeting the academic standards set for all GW students. A wide range of support is offered by our staff, in addition to customary academic accommodations such as extended time on exams, interpreting services, and reading services. We encourage students to develop an individual working relationship with our staff to address learning and disability management issues. These may include advice on course load and selection, learning strategies, organization and time management, and self-advocacy.
To support students with disabilities so that they may participate fully in university life, derive the greatest benefit from their education experiences, and ACHIEVE MAXIMUM PERSONAL SUCCESS!
