Travelers with Disabilities
Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ students, faculty and staff with disabilities can successfully travel abroad whether it be to participate in a study abroad program, conduct research, attend a conference or serve as a guest lecturer. The key to a trouble-free experience is planning. Understand, however, that attitudes, accessibility and accommodation for travelers with emotional, mental, learning or physical disabilities may vary in different locations.
Successful travelers take time to think about how to manage these differences and seek as much information as possible before departing.
Resources
Undergraduate travelers are strongly encouraged to discuss their travel plans with a (if applicable), faculty or staff adviser, program director, trip leader and/or the Office of Global Safety and Security (OGSS). Both graduate and undergraduates can talk with Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ’s . These offices will work together (and with the student) to discuss reasonable accommodations abroad as well as assist with the planning and pre-departure process.
