• Assist the Director with the daily operations of Student Disability Support Services, including workflow management, process improvement, policy implementation, and service delivery assessment.
• Support the supervision, training, and professional development of SDSS staff, including contributing to performance evaluations, mentoring, and ensuring consistent application of policies and procedures.

• Collaborate with off-campus providers, community agencies, and medical and mental health professionals to support documentation review, referrals, and continuity of care for students.
• Assist in the management and oversight of the SDSS Testing Center, including scheduling, proctoring standards, exam security, and accommodation implementation, as needed.
• Ensure SDSS technical standards are upheld, including accessibility of digital platforms, assistive technologies, and documentation systems used to support students and manage accommodations.
