To create a university community that is truly accessible to and inclusive of all persons, including people with disabilities, requires the participation of each and every member of the community. Yale Law School and Yale University Student Accessibility Services are committed to providing a supportive, collaborative environment that helps students thrive in law school.
The Disabled Law Students Association is an affinity group dedicated to supporting YLS students situated in and around the broad disability umbrella. This community includes disabled students, neurodivergent students, students with learning impairments or non-traditional learning styles, Deaf students, hard-of-hearing students, blind students, Deaf-blind students, students with chronic illnesses, students with mental health conditions or emotional disorders, and other students who receive or would like to receive accommodations.
