Disability
The Disability Services Office is the centralized point of activities
related to students with disabilities. Disabilities include visual and
hearing impairments, physical and mobility limitations, medical and mental
health disorders as well as learning disabilities.
The Disability Services Office assists students with disabilities identify
the appropriate accommodations. However, it is the responsibility of the
college community to accommodate students with disabilities.
The Office serves as a resource for faculty and staff who work with students
with disabilities. Staff are available to answer questions, consult on
problem situations, provide information, and support for accommodating
students. By working together, we can ensure that students with disabilities
have an equal opportunity to participate in all aspects of higher education.

Self-Identification
Students are encouraged to self-identify to Disability Services as early in
the admission process as possible, in order to plan accommodations that will
equalize opportunities to participate in all learning and evaluation
activities within Sault College.
Once self-identification occurs, students will meet individually with a
Counsellor to develop the accommodation plan. Confidentiality is maintained
within the parameters of the Freedom of Information and Protection of
Privacy Legislation.
