Debra Higginbotham, disability support services director, talks to the Student Fee Allocation Committee about finances for next year. The basic part is to keep disabled Americans from being excluded. Some cant hear, some have learning disabilities like dyslexia, and these people feel as if they cant suceed because of it. Some students are unable to open doors and we have a deaf student in engineering this year, which leads to the Non-Exclusion Law.

Having these disabilities doesnt mean they arent able, but once we make these accommodations they feel like they can succeed, Higginbotham says. Photo by Francisco Martinez
