Disability Resources
Student Affairs Office Suite

The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University values diversity and inclusion. We are committed to a climate of mutual respect and civility among members of our community. Peabody recognizes that disability is an aspect of diversity that adds richness to our community. To this end, Disability Resources in the Student Affairs Office collaborates with students, faculty, and staff to create learning environments that are usable, equitable, inclusive and welcoming. However, there may be times when there are aspects of the instruction or design of courses that result in barriers to inclusion or to accurate assessment of achievement. Students with disabilities who anticipate barriers to full participation in courses and/or campus activities are encouraged to contact Katsura Kurita, associate dean for student affairs and disability resources coordinator, in the Student Affairs Office.
Students must register with Disability Resources to receive reasonable accommodations. Forms and guidelines to document a disability may be found at www.peabody.jhu.edu/disability. Students are encouraged to identify themselves as early as possible as it takes time to fully evaluate all available information and some accommodations may need time to implement. Even if a student does not anticipate needing any accommodation at this time, we encourage the student to bring or send in documentation and contact the disability resources coordinator. In this way, this office will be ready to move with expediency on a request that may surface at a later date.
