Students with disabilities
American universities offer very good guidance for students with disabilities. Making higher education accessible to students with disabilities was legislated in the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. Under this act, American universities must provide facilities on campus so that their education is freely accessible to everyone.
Most universities have a disability office, where you can go for guidance and extra support as needed. Whether you have a physical disability or learning disability, the disability office can provide support.
The following organizations offer further information about studying in the US with a disability.
