NYSDSC- New York State Disability Services Council Logo

Regional Consortia

Across New York State, several consortia have been established to provide opportunities for campus disability service providers and other interested stakeholders to provide information and support to each other on a regional basis. Members of consortia can include disability service professionals from SUNY, CUNY, independent/private, and proprietary post-secondary institutions, high school counselors, psychologists, and relevant organizations, such as the Learning Disability Association and ACCESS-VR. Some groups are more formal in structure and meet on a regular basis, while others are less formal and/or meet only occasionally. The following information has been provided by members of the regional consortia. Please contact Gabriella Vasta at SUNY Delhi with questions regarding consortia information.
