I know what a difference it makes when there is someone who understands what you're going through and provides a helping hand. -Aaron, Samaritan Scholar |
Awareness & Training
Whether you or someone you know has a disability, these resources will help you understand and work with people who have disabilities, provide you with information on up-to-date disability issues, and give you suggestions on where you can learn more about organizations, technology and legislation regarding disabilities.
Disabilities need not preclude the achievement of goals and dreams. Rather, they mandate a greater level of creativity, commitment and a repertoire of compensatory techniques. The team of professionals at the RCPD is ready to assist students, employees and visitors with resources that create an environment of opportunity. We value full integration of persons with disabilities throughout the university mission, programs and services. We believe that persons with disabilities at MSU are as much in control of their educational/work experience as a person without a disability.
