The Fall 2025 RBHS Office of Disability Services (ODS) Newsletter focuses on strengthening access and inclusion through both awareness and practical action. This edition highlights Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Disability Awareness Month, outlining how domestic violence can uniquely affect disabled individuals and how faculty and staff can respond supportively using Rutgers resources. It also features an important ADA Title II update requiring public universities to make all digital content accessible by April 2026, alongside a helpful checklist and campus supports to guide compliance. The newsletter additionally shares trends in rising disability disclosures and referrals to ODS, and includes a personal narrative on navigating hearing loss with concrete tips for making communication spaces more inclusive.
