Whether you identify within the disability community or as an ally, you know how important accessibility is. It can be difficult to know whether a school is accessible to you or what kinds of accommodations it offers. In today\u2019s blog, we explain a few ways Emerson commits to accessibility, both as an institution and through student leadership.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessibility in Higher Education<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of the 2015-16 school year, about 12% of graduate students <\/a><\/strong>in the U.S. reported having a disability. However, a 2022 report found that only about <\/a>\u2153 of students with a disability<\/a> <\/strong>in college actually reported their disability to their institution. Part of the reason<\/a> <\/strong>students don\u2019t disclose their disability may be that they think professors would refuse to provide accommodations. Whatever the cause may be, these statistics are concerning. Students who don\u2019t report their disability may not get access to accommodations that would help them succeed in grad school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because a large number of students in higher education have disabilities, and because so few of them report their disability, it\u2019s important that universities be universally accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodations at Emerson<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Emerson strives to be universally accessible, we want to make sure students can get any accommodations they need to succeed. Student Accessibility Services<\/a> <\/strong>(SAS), located on the 5th floor of 216 Tremont St., is designed to help students access the accommodations they need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To receive accommodations<\/a> <\/strong>through SAS, students need to register a documented disability with SAS. This could be a physical, medical, visual, hearing, learning, or psychiatric disability. Students then fill out an accommodations request form and meet with SAS to review their request. After this interview, SAS will determine what accommodations the student qualifies for and notify the student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two main types of accommodations SAS provides are academic<\/a> <\/strong>and housing<\/a> <\/strong>accommodations. An academic accommodation might be extended exam time for a student with documented test anxiety. A housing accommodation, on the other hand, might look like a student being allowed to have an emotional support animal in the dorms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because every student\u2019s needs are different, accommodation may vary from student to student. Regardless of which specific accommodations a student needs, SAS is committed to helping students have the resources they need. If you have questions about what accommodations are available to you, don\u2019t hesitate to <\/a>contact SAS<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Universal Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to our accommodations process, Emerson is a supporter of Universal Design<\/a>.<\/strong> Universal Design is the idea that products and environments should be accessible to everyone, not exclusively able-bodied individuals. Emerson is committed to making our college a more Universally Designed space in the future<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access Disability Union<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emerson\u2019s administration is not the only source of support for students with disabilities. We also have a student-led disability union called Access<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2019 by two Emerson students, Access\u2019s mission<\/strong><\/a> is to foster a community for Emerson students with disabilities. Their goal is to unite students with disabilities to create greater visibility, access, and acceptance at Emerson. Access is a great example of Emerson students taking initiative to make our community more inclusive and equitable.\u00a0
If Access interests you, be sure to visit their website<\/a> <\/strong>and follow them on Instagram<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessibility in the City of Boston<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We recognize spaces outside of school may be a source of stress when it comes to accessibility. If you’re concerned about accessibility within the greater Boston area, the city has an entire webpage dedicated to accessibility<\/a>. <\/strong>Here you can apply for accessible parking spots, learn about accessible transportation, and find communication accommodations such as American Sign Language resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have questions or concerns about accessibility in Boston, the Disability Commission Advisory Board<\/a> <\/strong>(DCAB) holds monthly public at Boston City Hall. The DCAB seeks to reduce barriers in the city that keep people with disabilities from participating in daily life or social events. DCAB meetings are open to the public, and the board encourages community members to come with questions and concerns about accessibility within Boston.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Grad school is a big investment, and we know how important it is to know whether a program is an accessible space in which you can learn. Emerson\u2019s ongoing commitment to increasing Universal Design, Student Accessibility Services, and Access, our student-led disability union, are a few ways Emerson prioritizes accessibility.
