Resources for Students with Disabilities

The National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) is an online resource for students with disabilities looking to apply to college. They provide services through their national clearinghouse and their student group DREAM.

DREAM (Disability Rights, Education, Activism and Mentoring) is a site dedicated to promoting a national disabilities agenda for post-secondary students and includes valuable links related to a full range of disabilities.  

College Choice is a good resource for students with disabilities who want information on specific colleges. It also includes information on academic expectations in college and accommodations for students, as well as resources for preparing and applying to college.

The National Center for Learning Disabilities  provides research and information on numerous areas of post-secondary preparation. The website also features unique scholarship and award opportunities for students with disabilities.

The Autism Self Advocacy Network provides students with autism resources and features advice and guidance from adults with autism who have navigated the higher education experience.

Think College is another excellent resource for students and families considering post-secondary education for students with intellectual disabilities.

Learn How to Become is a useful website that features links to specific resources for individual diagnoses.
