The University of Mississippi
Office of Student Disability Services
GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP JOB DESCRIPTION
Nationwide, students with disabilities make up approximately 10-15% of all students in the postsecondary educational environment. Federal law requires that colleges and universities provide
reasonable accommodations and modifications for students who declare a disability that
impacts their functioning in class and on campus. Because each department and staff person
on a college campus is responsible for ensuring compliance with these federal laws, an
assistantship in the Office of Student Disability Services (SDS) will prepare graduate students to
manage disability-related issues in a variety of campus environments.
An assistantship with SDS will allow graduate students a unique look into the field of disability
services in higher education. The experience will provide challenging and diverse opportunities
to interact with students, study the legal mandates involved in the field, and learn the day-to-day
workings of a busy disability services office.
Opportunities for students chosen for this Assistantship will include:
$
Meeting directly student with students for one-on-one appointments
$
Assisting with the provision of accommodations including notetaking and text
conversion
$
Receiving training on assistive technology such as voice recognition software,
Kurzweil reading software, magnification software, and text conversion software
(including Braille)
$
Assisting with prospective student visit days, freshman orientation, and other
university sponsored events
$
Attending meetings with SDS Staff, students, parents, faculty and campus
administrators
$
Assisting in the development of training materials and programs as well as
Disability Awareness month activities
$
Researching disability-related issues such as universal design of instruction and
accessibility of computer-based information
$
“Shadowing” SDS personnel in order to get an in-depth look at services
including, but not limited to, documentation review; ASL interpreting; text
conversion; notetaking; and assisted test-taking
$
Other opportunities as agreed upon
Because of the federally protected privacy and confidentiality involved with the
information received through SDS, graduate students will be required to sign a
confidentiality statement before the Assistantship begins. Any student found in violation
of confidentiality requirements will be immediately dismissed from the Assistantship and
the Graduate School will be notified.
