Disability Support Services

Do you need disability support?

LAUSD is committed to providing assistance and accommodations to our students with verifiable disabilities.

While many of our students utilizing DSS services are originally referred by the Veterans Administration, the California Department of Rehabilitation, private rehabilitation agencies or even LA Unified’s own District Office of Transition Services (DOTS), we encourage all of our students who feel they may need assistance and/or reasonable accommodations to visit the Los Angeles Unified Adult Education DSS page: https://adulted.lausd.org/apps/pages/Disability-Support-Services

Whether you are seeking to learn English, earn your high school diploma, get career training or participate in any of the other programs offered, DSS staff are dedicated and passionate about providing the services you need to be successful.
