disability resources for incoming freshman?
first of all, happy graduation to the class of 2026! congratulations!
I’m an incoming freshman for fall 2026, and i’m wondering about the quality of disability resources at washu. i’ve already had quite a bit of trouble with contacting them about getting accommodations. it’s not possible to call them because they don’t pick up and the voicemail box is full, and it’s difficult to email as well because it takes multiple days to get any response. i filled out the accommodations request form as early as i could and included all of the necessary files, but they contacted me saying i need to meet with them. i don’t know if that’s normal, and the meeting keeps getting moved. of course i know that this is a busy time, i just worry if this is the norm for disability resources, and i worry about working with them the next 4 years. i’m starting to wonder if it’s even worth the time and if i should just stop having accommodations. i have adhd, so i guess it would be possible for me to go without accommodations, ive just had them for the past 6 years so i get nervous…
what are people’s experiences working with disability resources, especially with adhd? is it even worth it to pursue accommodations? thank you all!
