College for Students with Disabilities: A Guide for Students, Families, and Educators

A college education is possible, even for students with disabilities. There are many options available, though the trick is figuring out what is right for you. To help students and their families, Maryville University has created this resource, "College for Students with Disabilities: A Guide for Students, Families, and Educators.”

This guide is full of helpful information, outlining an array of potential education paths that are available to students. Whether it’s a 4-year college or university, or a vocational or technical school, students and their families can discuss the best option based on their goals. If college is the intended path, Maryville University provides the College Prep Checklist, which outlines important steps for students who plan to pursue higher education.

The guide provided by Maryville University also discusses accessibility and accommodation rights for people with disabilities and what students need to know. In addition, specific disabilities are highlighted. The resource guide lists organizations, scholarships, and assistive technologies that are available for those with learning, cognitive, and physical disabilities, as well as speech and language impairments
