Welcome to DSS: Indiana University Bloomington's Office of Disability Services for Students!
The purpose of our office is to ensure the accessibility of University programs and services to eligible students. We work closely with the University community to develop and coordinate the implementation of appropriate accommodations to disability. Accommodations, also called support services, are individually determined based on disability specific need and may include modified testing environments, sign language interpreters, and assistance obtaining books in audio format.
