ABLE exists to support KSU employees in the disability community. Membership includes faculty, staff, and student employees from across the Kent system with a strong representation from the regional campuses.  Not all members identify as disabled but rather join to learn more about how to accommodate employees with disabilities and their concerns.

As the spotlight on mental health gradually brightens, institutions are having the realization that it’s not just a personal battle–it’s a potential disability. With this recognition comes a vast change in how we approach accommodations. With the limitations of both the environment and the accommodations themselves, discrepancies are bound to arise. However, we have the tools to navigate it. The services provided by SAS help you in-classroom and give you the resources needed to be successful as a member of 91ֿ community.
