Temporary disabilities refer to a short time period in which a person has a disability, for example, a broken leg, a surgical procedure, or a common health condition. Some students with temporary mobility impairments due to a broken leg or surgical procedure may qualify for transportation assistance arranged through SSWD. Other students with injuries to arms and hands may use voice input computers or other equipment housed in the Adaptive Technology Computing Site (ATCS). Temporary health concerns of themselves, however, do not commonly constitute a disability and afford a student special accommodations facilitated through SSWD.
Although students may contact SSWD, those with temporary or common health conditions should discuss the need for short-term accommodations with their professors. Students who believe their accommodation needs have not been met may contact the Office of the Ombudsman (763-3545) for assistance.
