Disability Support Services

The Center for 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 Campus in room 128 of  the Educational Computing Center (ECC) building and can be reached by phone at (631) 632-6748.

Individuals with visual, mobility and hearing impairment as well as those with hidden disabilities such as chronic medical conditions, psychological, and learning disabilities are invited to make use of the services and equipment available. Individuals with permanent or temporary disabilities are also encouraged to consult with DSS.

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.
