Office of Accessibility Services Event Resources
In April of 2023, the CUNY SPH Office of Accessibility Services celebrated our third annual CUNY Disability Awareness Month at SPH. Disabled people are the largest marginalized and underrepresented community. CUNY-wide, students with invisible disabilities, or sometimes called hidden disabilities, are provided with more accommodations than any other category of disabilities or disabling medical conditions.
