Student Disability Services is more than accommodations.

Texas Tech University has one of the most comprehensive departments for students with disabilities in the state, where the Student Disability Services (SDS) staff provides a variety of accommodations and services for individuals with disabilities. Accommodations will be made in response to the specific disability.

With over 1,200 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.

Welcome Veterans with Disabilities

Because we know the transition from active duty to a college classroom can be challenging, Student Disability Services would like to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Resources to accommodate a disability can open up educational opportunities. You may contact a staff member in SDS for further information on Military and Veterans Programs at Texas Tech, or contact this office directly here.

Web Accessibility

Texas Tech University is committed to making every possible effort to ensure all electronic and information technology developed, procured, maintained, or used is accessible to individuals with disabilities.
