Professional Development

The Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD) is the leading professional organization devoted to disability in higher education. Through conferences, workshops, publications and consultation it educates Disability Service and other campus professionals on exemplary practices.

DSSHE E-Mail Listserv
The DSSHE Listserv for professionals working on disability and higher education is an excellent email listserv where you can get job postings, support with problems or issues, or general information about disability and higher education.  If you've never been on an e-mail listserv, subscribe and you'll receive instructions.  (We do recommend signing up for the digest format - this is a busy listserv.)

CUNY School of Professional Studies
The MS in Disability Services in Higher Education online degree program is the first program of its kind in the country and equips students with the knowledge and skills they need to provide mandated accommodations to students with disabilities in higher education settings.
