In a time of unknowns and uncertainties, many students with disabilities desire hybrid instruction, not as an accommodation, but rather as a matter of ensuring public health.

UC Berkeley is now offering a scanning service that will turn print material into an electronic format, making it more accessible to campus faculty. 

In the first lecture, Pineda lost no time in frankly discussing his disability with the class. A neuromuscular condition means he has weak muscles, and needs a wheelchair for mobility and a machine to help him breathe. He needs a personal assistant with him at all times to help him with daily living tasks.

For Kleege, disability is just another facet of the human condition. The message Kleege would like to focus on is that “disability is a diversity category” and should not be understood as just a problem that can be addressed with a set of accommodations.

First established in an office behind Top Dog on Durant Avenue in 1970, the Disabled Students’ Program, or DSP, has since expanded to serve about 1,700 students at UC Berkeley and is working to improve resource accessibility for students.

UC Berkeley is committed to providing a broad array of services to the more than 1800 students who are part of the Disabled Students’ Program, or DSP.

For the exhibit, 16 local artists drew from various folktales in Howard Schwartz’s “Leaves from the Garden of Eden: One Hundred Classic Jewish Tales.”
