The Counseling Office provides assistance to students in their personal and academic growth. As a college student, you will encounter many new and different experiences. You will be making many important decisions regarding courses, majors, career planning and personal concerns. Counseling can help you learn to make better decisions and develop greater confidence in academic and personal abilities, acquire a greater awareness and appreciation of your needs, and to learn to cope more effectively with life experiences.

Counseling services are provided on a confidential and voluntary basis. Counseling is available on an individual basis. Appointments are arranged to fit your schedule, and services are free to any currently enrolled Ohio State ATI student.

Ohio State University ATI is committed to providing reasonable academic support services to persons with documented disabilities as defined by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. The Office for Disability Services (ODS) coordinates support services for students with disabilities and is an accommodation resource for faculty and staff. Types of disabilities include but are not limited to learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder (ADD), mobility impairments, hearing and visual impairments, psychiatric, and medical disabilities.

Accommodations
ODS provides reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aides, and support services that are designed to meet the specific needs of each individual and are based on disability documentation. Although ODS coordinates services, the faculty and other campus departments are instrumental in providing services as well. General services may include but are not limited to the following:
• Exam accommodations
• Disability counseling and advocacy
• Priority scheduling
• Alternative media, e.g., taped textbooks, enlarged print, Braille, etc.
• Access to class notes
• Sign language interpreters
• Registration and orientation consultation
• Accessible housing
• Faculty/staff resource on student disability issues

Eligibility
In order to receive services from ODS, documentation of the disability from an appropriate professional is required. The nature and type of documentation required depends upon the specific disability. Students are responsible for supplying the documentation, which should be a recent evaluation (within the last three years). Specific questions regarding appropriate documentation can be addressed directly to ODS.

Grievances regarding accessibility should be addressed to either the ODS or Student Success Services at 287-1247.
