Disability Statement

If you need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability, you should contact the Stone Lab office to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. During the appointment, we can discuss the course format, anticipate your needs, and explore potential accommodations. Stone Lab relies on Ohio State’s Office for Disability Services for assistance in verifying the need for accommodations and developing accommodation strategies. If you have not previously contacted the Office for Disability Services, we encourage you to do so. The Ohio State University’s Office for Disability Services is located at the address provided below.
