Supporting Students Together
At the BYU-Idaho Accessibility Services Office, we coordinate with the university to create accessible educational environments for students with disabilities. You as faculty and staff play an essential role in this work.
About 10% of BYU-Idaho students report a disability. That means every class probably includes someone with an accommodation. We are here to help you create classes that include everyone and to make sure students get the support they need.
Providing Accommodations
Accommodations are decided through a personal meeting between the student and an Accessibility Services staff member. Accommodations should support the student’s needs in the classroom, but they do not require the university to change the main goals or important parts of a class or program.
If you have questions about a student’s approved accommodations, please contact us.
"The hallmark of this institution is readily apparent when visitors come to our campus and say, 'I can't believe how student-focused the faculty are, the staff are, all of the employees are.'... Here at BYU-Idaho, the students are and always will be the focus of everything we do."
