History<\/h2>\n

In the Fall of 2024, the Office of Disability Services (ODS) became Disability Access Services (DAS). The rebranding includes a new mission statement and departmental logo. We have an updated version of our database (known as AIM). If you’re interested in learning more about the services and history of DAS, check out this WOU Focus YouTube video (circa 2017).<\/p>\n
