Disability Support Services

Disability Support Services (DSS) assists students with disabilities in accessing the many resources of Stony Brook Southampton.

Disability Support Services is located on the Stony Brook University West Campus in room 128 of the Educational Computing Center (ECC) building and can be reached by phone at (631) 632-6748.

Stony Brook Southampton students should direct all questions concerning DSS to Linda Hamilton at (631) 632-5014. She is available Monday - Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Thursday from 12-4 p.m.

Linda Hamilton will distribute the appropriate forms and forward the completed forms to DSS West Campus. DSS West Campus will evaluate the documentation and inform the student, faculty, advising, and health staff of needed services. The evaluation process will take approximately two weeks.

Room 116 in the Technology Building has been allocated for the administration of exams to those who need special accommodations.

The DSS staff is here to support your interactions with faculty, staff and community agencies. Students are responsible for registering with DSS for accommodations. Unlike high school, students need to self-advocate. This means being able to communicate your needs and discuss your accommodations with faculty.

Students must follow the DSS procedure for testing accommodations. Students are responsible for making all testing arrangements with both DSS and the faculty. Come talk to a DSS counselor and we’ll review the most effective methods of working with the faculty. We are interested in your success and can offer advice and referrals.
