ABILITY ALLY

Ability Ally is hosted by the Student Ability Success Center (SASC) and is
designed to establish disability partners and advocates across the San
Diego State University campus. Upon completion of the Ability Ally seminar,
allies will be able to create a safe, supportive, and understanding
environment for individuals with diverse abilities. In addition to
supporting students who are already connected with SASC, an ally will have
the knowledge to support and provide resources to students who are not yet
connected with the Student Ability Success Center.



Ability Ally sessions are fun and interactive. The seminar will provide a
variety of disability-related topics, including the accommodation process,
diagnoses, the impact of labeling, and disability etiquette.



SASC will be hosting virtual sessions of Ability Ally throughout the
semester. Ability Ally is a 4-hour seminar which will be split into two
2-hour sessions. A Part 2 session does not have to be completed the week
after attending Part 1 (i.e., participants can choose a later Part 2
session).

The sessions will be held on Thursdays from 2 - 4 pm (Each session will be
limited to 15 participants). Below are the specific dates:



Part 1: March 4, 2021, 2 - 4 pm

Part 2: March 11, 2021, 2 - 4 pm

Part 1: March 18, 2021, 2 - 4 pm
