Academic Resource Team (ART)

The Academic Resource Team (ART) is a component of Disability Services. ART staff members are Disability Specialists. Staff bring together a multidisciplinary approach to working with students with nonvisible disabilities. Students with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, head injuries, and psychiatric disabilities who request services and submit documentation are assigned to a Disability Specialist who can support them in a variety of ways.

Program Philosophy
The philosophy of ART is based on the idea that a student with a disability can be successful in a competitive post secondary environment given self-acknowledgment of the disability and appropriate support services. Inherent within this philosophy is the importance of the student understanding his/her diagnostic profile so that relevant learning strategies can be learned and applied. The goal is for the student to become an independent learner who takes ownership and responsibility for the learning process.
