AccessAbility Services

The Office of AccessAbility Services (OAS) guides its work with a commitment to holistic inclusion. Universal Design, Social Model of Disability, and the concept that Disability is Diversity, and that access is a human and civil right are also guiding models within the OAS. OAS provides guidance to ensure equal access to all educational programs and activities at Eastern. The OAS facilitates accommodations and support services to students with documented disabilities and temporary injuries.

The philosophy and mission of OAS is to facilitate both identification and removal of barriers (systemic, physical, attitudinal, institutional, and internalized) that impact folks with disabilities on Eastern’s campus. The OAS is committed to fostering a culture of access that empowers students throughout their journey at Eastern. We strive to build a campus climate and culture that actively values and supports the full inclusion of all individuals, regardless of their abilities.
