The International Programs Office is committed to facilitating access to every student interested in studying abroad. To enable the full participation of students with disabilities, accommodations may be needed. International Programs, working closely with Disability Services, will assist students in identifying appropriate programs and locations and determining the necessary accommodations.
It is important to be aware of the cultural differences about disability and accommodations in order to have a successful and safe experience abroad. Please contact Prema Samuel or Christopher Olson in the International Programs Office early on in your study abroad search to discuss any accommodations you will require while abroad. The International Programs Office will then discuss your needs with Polly Waldman, Associate Dean of Disability Services, to determine what services (if any) will be required and provided. Polly can be reached at pwaldman@sarahlawrence.edu.
