at their internship site. Our staff will be on hand to help students navigate the
process of acquiring accommodations.
While accommodations vary depending on the internship site, past workplace
accommodations have included the following:
• Assistive technologies–both
software and hardware (JAWS,
TextHelp)
• Sign language interpreting
• Note-takers
• Readers
• Alternative format materials (i.e.
Braille, large print, etc.)
Student Testimonials
On the first day of my internship, not only did my supervisor
and I ensure that my disability accommodations worked,
but we also went over emergency procedures. It's important
to remember you're not burdening anyone, as all the
accommodations you request are legitimate and necessary for
your success in the workplace.
