This is one of the questions we hear most often. Many students wonder whether they qualify to be part of the SSD community, or worry that joining might take resources away from someone else. We want to reassure you that this is not the case.

At SSD, we welcome all students who self-identify as having one or more disabilities. If that describes you, you belong here.
