Abstract: This research explores the economical and institutional challenges associated with providing the Office for Accommodations and Access (OAA), formerly Disability Support Services (DSS) a streamlined, effective operating approach. Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) is utilized as a practical case study for this research project. As student groups with a myriad of challenges grow, institutions face unwavering constraints in delivering equitable accommodation such as increased testing time, interpreter services, and other forms of tutoring services--many of these attach exorbitant costs. The research examines the broader context of disability services in higher education, including legal rules and regulations, different types of disabilities, and disparities in service access and delivery. Most of the time, the constraints may deal with financial constraints or issues with access of services. The impact of COVID-19 on service delivery is a realization and sheds light within lack of accessibility and communication. Many policy-driven recommendations are discovered for improving service coordination, opening doors for communication, developing and building staff training, and creating a diverse stance of providing college students with creative campus protocol and how to equitably receive these valuable services. Students must serve as their own advocates while encouraging higher education institutions to adopt more global, inclusive, and solid financial practices.
