Transition to Adulthood: College Disability Services

Do you know what college disability services may be available to you? Colleges provide accommodations required under Civil Rights Laws. They will usually coordinate supports through a disability services office or ADA office. Students must register with that office in order to be able to receive any accommodations. Here are a few things you should know about disability services!

- Colleges don’t have the same legal obligations as high schools. (They don’t fall under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)

- Your child must register as a student with disabilities to get accommodations.

- The requirements for documentation in college are changing.

- There are no “case managers” in college.

- Different schools offer different levels of support.

- Colleges don’t provide evaluations for learning and thinking differences.
