SELECTING A COLLEGE Once you narrow your college choices, meet with the disability services coordinator at each college to determine services and accommodations that may be available. This may help determine which college will best meet your needs.
Questions to ask the disability services coordinator:
Questions you may be asked :
• What documentation must I bring to identify myself as a student with a disability? • Are the accommodations I need available? • How do I access textbooks in a format that accommodates my disability? • Is tutoring provided? What is the cost? • Are waivers or substitutions granted to students who cannot pass certain courses? • Are courses offered in note-taking, study skills, or time management? • Is there an adaptive technology lab on campus? • Will I have both a disabilities advisor and a regular academic advisor?
• What is your disability? • How does it affect your learning? • How comfortable are you in discussing accommodations with teachers? • What are your academic strengths? • What accommodations will you need? • What kind of support services have you used in high school? What was most helpful?
