What is the difference between OYM and Disability Services?

Though On Your Marq is a program under the Office of Disability Services, OYM is a voluntary-participation program for Neurodivergent students specifically that provides supports geared towards bolstering student success beyond traditional accommodations. The Office of Disability Services works with students with many different medical and mental-health diagnoses (including Neurodivergent students) to explore, approve, and coordinate accommodations under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Students may choose to interact with either, or both offices. Many will choose both.
