Disability Access Services ( DAS ) actively works towards equitable and accessible experiences for students with disabilities at Oregon State University ( OSU ). DAS serves the mission of OSU by providing access to educational opportunities to a population that has historically been disadvantaged in higher education: students with disabilities. DAS supports disabled students by providing reasonable and appropriate accommodations as required by Federal and State laws.

The manager for Communication Access is a critical leadership position within DAS and coordinates services to provide communication access to students and prospective students at OSU via accommodations that are reasonable, appropriate, and effective.

Under the general supervision of the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Disability Access Services, the Communication Access Manager serves as the campus lead for Deaf and Hard of Hearing ( DHOH ) students, collaborating with Equal Opportunity & Access ( EOA ) in assisting departments with finding interpreters/transcribers. This position coordinates the assistive listening devices (Frequency Modulation systems) loan program.

This position oversees working with 3rd party vendors for media captioning and audio description production. The Manager provides direction to the Lead Interpreter and Lead Transcriber to ensure course assignments are covered, instructors’ emails requesting access to Canvas are sent, and prep materials are made available to the service providers. This position will also carry a partial caseload of students, along with facilitating efforts to collaborate with faculty and departments for proper implementation of access and accommodations.
