Faculty Instructional Resources

What You Need to Know as Faculty

Disability Resources strives to assist faculty in creating learning environments that are inclusive of students of all abilities.  Using universal design principles, we seek to remove as many barriers as possible and then make individual accommodations when needed.  We coordinate accommodations and support for Grinnellians with disabilities such as learning, psychiatric, physical, or sensory disabilities, and we partner with the student's faculty whenever possible. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or for assistance. 

We encourage you to learn about disabilities, universal design, and disability resources at Grinnell, starting with Disability Resources for Students.
