Services to Students with Temporary Impairments


Temporary impairments such as broken bones, temporary illness, or incapacity while recovering from surgery on a limb are not commonly regarded as disabilities. The degree of limitation of major life functions and the duration of such impairments are usually not substantial enough to cause them to fall under the statutes that give rise to the provision of services to University of Wyoming students with disabilities.  However, as a courtesy to students and faculty, University Disability Support Services at the University of Wyoming provides some services to students with temporary impairments. These services typically involve moving classrooms to accessible locations when a student's impairment (a leg in a cast, for example) prevents him or her from climbing stairs; access to adaptive technology; information on accessible transportation; and some exam and quiz accommodations. Contact UDSS for more information and to see if you qualify.
