Voluntary Disclosure for Specialized Services for People with Disabilities
The Americans with Disabilities Act and Texas Commission on Human Rights Act place limits on inquiries regarding whether or not an individual has a disability and to the nature and extent of such a disability. Despite said inquiry limitations, various federal and state programs are specifically tailored to grant benefits and services to individuals based on their disability status, both veteran and non-veteran. Should you wish to have your eligibility for such services considered, please inform a WSET representative regarding any relevant disability information. This information will only be considered in relation to program qualification determinations as described above.
Although any of WSET’s staff can assist you, the agency has staff specifically trained to serve veterans and clients with disabilities should you wish to receive these specialized services.
Auxiliary Aids and Services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities.
