How to Research College Disability Accommodations and Other Academic Supports

Описание: Elizabeth C. Hamblet, author of Seven Steps to Success: A Pathway for Students with Disabilities, demonstrates how to explore colleges' disability services sites so that prospective students with learning disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, and other disabilities can see what accommodations might be available and what each documentation each college will require them to provide to register with the office. She also suggests other resources to probe, such as the on-campus counseling center and sources of academic support.
