More and more
high school students with disabilities are planning to continue
their education in postsecondary schools, including vocational
and career schools, two- and four- year colleges, and
universities. As a student with a disability, you need to be
well informed about your rights and responsibilities as well as
the responsibilities postsecondary schools have toward you.

movement has had a profound effect on access to college for
students with learning disabilities (LD). Federal law has
required that students with disabilities be educated in the
Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). Almost 30% of students with
LD are now graduating from high school with a diploma, and 56%
of these graduates enroll in college. Source: The
