鼓励学生在到达校园之前自我披露. 无障碍服务办公室越早意识到住宿需求, the better prepared the University is for your arrival and the start of your classes.
住宿和服务
单凭诊断并不能使你有资格获得住宿. 损害的存在，实质上限制了主要的生命活动, the current impact of your impairment and how it affects your ability to function in an academic setting, and a rational and objective basis for the requested accommodations are necessary to determine whether or not accommodations are reasonable.

互动技巧
Remember that people with disabilities have many levels of experiences—their disability is simply one aspect of their complex identities.
- When a person with a disability may need assistance, it is appropriate to offer help. 等到对方接受了对方的邀请，并给出了提供帮助的指示. Do not be offended if your offer to help is declined—there are a myriad of reasons why a person might reject help, 包括练习独立完成任务的愿望.
- Never lean on, touch, or move a person’s assistive equipment without first getting their consent.
- 如果一个残疾人在使用服务性动物, 未经主人同意，不要触摸或分散动物的注意力. 这样做可能对车主不安全，而且具有破坏性.
- 引起聋人/重听人的注意, 轻拍或触摸它们, 或者挥挥手. If they are using an interpreter, speak directly to the person, not the interpreter.
- 注意环境中可能造成危险的障碍物或危险. 例如破裂或破损的人行道或路径, 泄漏, 宽松的地毯, 以及阻碍交通模式或突出到旅行路径的物体.
- 不要轻拍别人的头或抓住别人的手臂.
- Never be afraid to invite someone with a disability to participate in an event or activity. If there are concerns about accessibility or that the person may not be able to participate fully, 把这些问题说出来，一起解决. 被排斥是孤立和痛苦的.
- 当遇到残疾人时, 在适当的时候主动与没有残疾的人握手. 如果那个人不能握住你的手，他们会告诉你的. 主动握手被视为尊重的表示.
- 如果你听不懂别人的话, 让他们重复或问一些澄清性的问题. Pretending to understand what someone said is disrespectful and denies them the opportunity to contribute to the conversation.
