Does your child have a learning disability and are they going to college? Do you want your child to succeed in college and have every opportunity to do well and achieve their goals?
I bet you do. So do I.
National statistics show 20% of all college students have a disability. Yet, less than 5% tell their school. That’s about 1/4th of all those with disabilities. One-third of students with disabilities graduate in eight years. In addition, 30% of all freshman students with or without disabilities do not return for their sophomore year.
Those numbers are shocking and alarming. With a disability, graduating from college becomes harder.
What makes a difference? The ability to self-advocate.
Accessing College can help. We focus on developing the skills and knowledge needed to advocate for the accommodations you need and deserve.
