The UPLD staff works closely with University administration, faculty and graduate student instructors, the Center for Students with Disabilities, other staff members, and students to provide reasonable accommodations and services to UConn students with learning disabilities (LD). UPLD also serves as a training facility for pre-professional graduate students from a variety of disciplines and a research site for issues related to postsecondary students with LD. We hope this website serves as a useful resource to our many colleagues and consumers.

Students - Whether you are thinking about attending UConn, have just begun here, or are a returning student, the staff and I at UPLD welcome you! Our university offers tremendous opportunities to stretch yourself intellectually and emotionally while developing the knowledge and skills needed for a rewarding career. At UPLD, we respect the fact that university students with learning disabilities (LD) are often some of the brightest and most dedicated learners on campus. The Learning Specialists and I look forward to offering you a caring and confidential environment at UPLD. You can discuss your successes and frustrations with trained staff members who understand the unique challenges (and triumphs) that college students with LD experience. We are committed to helping you accommodate the impact of your learning disability and develop new tools for achieving academic success at UConn.
