Disability and Accessibility Services works with students to ensure equal access to college programs, services, and activities. We partner with students through an interactive process to determine reasonable accommodations that support access.

Students with disabilities whose accommodations, modifications, and/or adjustments are approved and who believe that they have been discriminated against on the basis of their disability should bring these issues to the attention of the ADA Coordinator in the Student Success Center. The ADA Coordinator will work with the students, faculty and administrators to resolve disagreements regarding recommended accommodations. If the accommodations Specialist is unable to resolve the matter informally, or if the student with a disability is not satisfied with the resolution, he/she may file a written grievance with the Labette Community College ADA Appeals Officer.
Students may be asked to provide documentation when additional information is needed to determine reasonable accommodations. Examples of documentation are:
- Medical Documentation
- Psychological Evaluations
- Educational Records
- Vocational rehabilitation documentation
- Other relevant information
