Checklist for Assessing Colleges for Accessibility
When looking for the right college for you, make sure you find out what services are available to you through the Office of Disability Services on each campus. It is essential that you obtain as much information as possible about services for students with disabilities, and services that pertain to your particular disability, before you begin classes. You want to get ahead, and stay ahead of the game!
Some general questions you might consider asking:
