To respond to the uncertainties, surprises, and needs of life, UCLA provides the following services.

Center for Accessible Education (CAE)

Services are designed to meet the unique educational needs of regularly enrolled students with documented permanent and temporary disabilities.

A good introduction to the CAE, explaining how the CAE works and how to obtain services, is available in the CAE Student Handbook. For a copy, log on to the website.
