Disability Access: ABOUT US/CONTACT INFORMATION

Disability Access provides a broad range of support and services to make academic and campus life accessible through encouraging students to develop self-advocacy, empowerment, responsibility, independence, and growth. We provide equal access, not guaranteed success.

Welcome to Dalton State!  It is my hope that this libguide will provide you with a wealth of information about Disability Access. It is important to me to build a relationship with students, faculty, and staff so that I am able to assist you in whatever areas I can.  I am available at any time for questions. Thank you for taking time to explore Disability Access and I look forward to serving you.
