We take an individual approach when developing an accommodations plan. This approach includes the review of the application, documentation, and a meeting with an SDRC coordinator. Once this process is complete, any updates or modifications to the approved accommodations should be discussed with an SDRC coordinator. Below are examples of common accommodations, but this list is not an exhaustive list.
