Hi
This is wonderful and so exciting for me.
In Turkey, we didn’t have disability offices but had students clubs.
We were not only running some advocacy campaign’s, but also setting up
a network of volunteers. Let’s say I need to study math, I would turn
to club to see whether we have a volunteer to help me.
I missed that spiritual genuineness.
Since I have started at UC, I have been thinking  about disability
office and other student organizations.
There is a women association, there is an office related to black
students and there is a disability office.
Disability office serves to the students with various disabilities.
They sometimes scan the books, arrange sign language interpreter so
and so.
What does women association/ office do? Do day give feminine products?
Hahahaha! Of course not. They mostly work on advocacy. At this point
disability office stays very premature by just serving for the basic
needs.
I’m hoping that your student club will fill this gab.
I hope I can do something in the fall.
Let us know how it is going please
