This resource provides an in-depth guide for college students with disabilities on how to navigate accommodations in a post-secondary environment. It identifies major disability categories such as learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism Spectrum, physical/sensory impairments, and mental health conditions. The document highlights the key differences between high school and college support systems, emphasizing the shift from a focus on success in high school (IDEA) to a focus on access in college (ADA/Section 504). Students are encouraged to self-assess their learning needs, reflect on past accommodations, and explore various supports available for their specific challenges. The guide also details the step-by-step process for accessing accommodations, including gathering documentation, contacting the Disability Services Office (DSO), and understanding one’s rights and responsibilities. Lastly, it provides practical scenarios, examples of accommodations, and templates for communication with the DSO.
