This course will introduce some of the more common mental health diagnoses found among our student population. We will review symptoms and discuss the ways in which these symptoms cause impairments in the academic environment. We will then introduce the audience to a variety of accommodations that are used to support students in order to overcome the barriers they face to accessing their educational opportunities.

If this class is being held online via Zoom, registrants will receive the login link in a separate reminder email from Learning and Development or the instructor at least 1 day before your scheduled class.
