Wake Forest University views the provision of reasonable accommodations, modifications, or auxiliary aides to enable equal access for students with disabilities as a collaborative process among students, faculty, and staff. The Learning Assistance Center & Disability Services (LAC-DS) staff considers individual needs in each request and encourages an age-appropriate level of self-advocacy with students.
