Many heroes for many years advocated and protested, promoting equal civil rights for people with disabilities until the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed by Congress in 1990 and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush.

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) at Roger Williams University (RWU) supports all students with disabilities in the academic and physical environments; we are also committed to promoting and supporting all members of the RWU community in the richness of their personal identity, as part of the diversity and inclusion efforts at Roger Williams University.

We work with all units of Roger Williams University to support inclusion and support academic success. Especially, in this context, we work closely with the Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion to support our students’ social needs, and sense of pride in acknowledging their identities.

Our collaboration with the programs and projects in the Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is part of our mission to reduce bias, increase inclusive values, and contribute to social justice and equal opportunity for all students at Roger Williams University.

Student Accessibility Services has been such a great resource for me in my time at Roger Williams. Anytime I have questions or feel overwhelmed I am relived to know that I can go to the SAS center and get a plan in place. Everyone at the office is extremely nice and caring. The testing center is also a great resource as it is so quite which helps me focus. I had an IEP in high school as well and the process of switching over to college was painless. I am so thankful to have the SAS center as I go throughout my studies at Roger Williams. I am also a Marketing major. 

Grace

Student Accessibility Services has helped me grow as a student and a person. I have become much more independent with their services. As soon as I step into the office my stress goes away since I know I have the support system I need. I am not sure what I would have done without SAS my freshman year, as they guided me in the right direction and I ended up finding my perfect classes.

Allie

Student Accessibility Services provided me with accommodations that make learning fun and less stressful. As an incoming freshman, SAS helped me with my schedule and navigating through college throughout my 4 years. They have continued to advocate for me. SAS has been a safe space for me and everyone there goes above and beyond for their students.
