Sylvan Lebrun reports, “[s]tarting this fall, first year students with disabilities will have access to a new peer liaison program designed to provide them with support as they adjust to life at Yale.
The University announced Feb. 7 that they plan to pilot an official peer liaison program for disabled students during the 2020-2021 school year, in a partnership between the Dean’s Office and Student Accessibility Services. Seven students in sophomore year or older with knowledge of the disability experience at Yale have been hired to act as mentors for a cohort of disabled first years, giving them guidance as they navigate campus life.
