Student Disability Services is more than accommodations.

Texas Tech University has one of the most comprehensive departments for students with disabilities in the state of Texas. Student Disability Services (SDS) staff provide a variety of accommodations and services for individuals with disabilities. Accommodations are tailored to the individual and the disability.

With approximately 2,000 students registered for services, we encourage students to overcome challenges and attain personal and academic success while the SDS staff functions as a student advocate. Through active involvement with all areas of the University, SDS is able to monitor conditions relevant to students with disabilities and offer support in decisions affecting their quality of life.

In addition to the services offered by our main Student Disability Services office, SDS also offers a supplemental academic enhancement program for students with Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders, the TECHniques Center. The TECHniques Center is a fee-for-service program that provides one-on-one, regularly scheduled content and study skills tutoring, as well as weekly meetings with an academic counselor.
