Step 2
Meet with your accessibility counsellor
Before your appointment, your accessibility counsellor will review your documentation and the intake forms hyperlink you received from our receptionist.
It would be helpful if you reviewed your documentation beforehand as well. At your appointment, you and your counsellor will discuss:
- Your documentation, if there is a need for additional documentation, and if so, how to go about getting it
- Accommodations and services that you have used in the past
- The strengths and resources you have that help you in school
- Any worries, concerns or questions you have
- The demands of your new courses
- Any possible aspects of your courses which may be a barrier to your academic success
- What accommodations we can provide to eliminate those barriers
If there are items you and your counsellor do not have enough time to discuss in your initial appointment, you may need additional appointments.
This could include:
- Completing the Bursary for Students with Disabilities (BSWD)
- Creating an Educational Plan if you have a reduced course load as
