What are the most important factors for a student with a disability to succeed in college?
Many students view university/college as a fresh start and a time to do things on their own. Due to differences in requirements in high school and university/college, the strategies that worked in the past may not work now. It is important that students know about their disability and the accommodations they will need in order to make an informed decision about which university/college can best meet their disability needs. Select a university/college that is a comfortable size and has appropriate majors and support. The university/college setting is challenging, and it can be even more demanding for a student with a disability. It is important that you choose a major that you like. This will allow you to have greater focus on your work. Planning is essential to your success. Consider taking a reduced load of courses your first year. This may help you make the transition to the university/college environment easier. Seek help early. It is best to be overly prepared in the beginning.
