College Support for Students with Disabilities: Helping U.S. Students Navigate Higher Education

Students with disabilities are afforded the same opportunities and rights as any college student, but knowing how to access available services, accommodations and support resources can be a challenge. This guide, published by the Center for Online Education, 2016, is a helpful resource for students with disabilities.

As a student with a disability, making the decision to attend college can be positive and life-changing. Most colleges recognize that qualified students with disabilities deserve equal educational access and benefits, and work to create a more inclusive environment that offers appropriate student services, advocacy, campus accessibility and academic support. This publication:

• Outlines legal rights
• Shows where and how to find assistance on campus
• Provides an extensive list of websites, apps and software resources designed for students with disabilities.
