What does CCDI mean in COLLEGES

The College Committee on Disability Issues (CCDI) provides guidance and support to students with disabilities in higher education, while also promoting awareness related to disability.

CCDI works to ensure that all students have access to equal opportunities and can benefit from the same educational experience as their peers without disabilities. This includes advocating for reasonable accommodations and working with faculty and staff members on how best to meet the needs of individual students. Additionally, they help create a safe learning environment through programming and initiatives which allow all students to feel included.

CCDI provides support for disabled students by helping them acquire needed resources, such as reasonable accommodations, assistive technology, or specialized services needed for their coursework or internship experiences. They also work closely with faculty members and other campus professionals regarding any special needs of their students so that those needs may be met appropriately.

Yes! You can volunteer or become an intern at the college's disability resource center, or you can become a member of the College Committee on Disability Issues itself by reaching out directly to your school's center for accessibility and disability services.

Raising awareness can be done in many ways! You can start a conversation among your friends about any difficulties people with disabilities may face, or write articles that offer insight into topics affecting those needing special accommodations due to a disability. Additionally, you could join student organizations dedicated specifically towards helping those overcome disabilities, such as the National Council on Disability or Speak Your Silence Club.
