Are you a student with a chronic invisible condition that causes your ability to attend to your studies challenging? You do not have to use a wheelchair, or have a vision or hearing loss, or a learning disability to be eligible for accommodations. The effects of any diagnosed medical condition, including mental health conditions, or an impairment may be significant enough to make you eligible. If you aren’t sure and would like to speak confidentially about your individual situation, please call us at 1-800-847-3000, ext. 2244 or email the office at disability.services@esc.edu.
