It’s time to change societal attitudes towards people with #LearningDisabilities. We can no longer accept the erasure of people who are our loved ones, friends and neighbours.

Are College Disability Accommodations Common for Assignment Deadlines?
When students with learning disabilities or ADHD attend college, they may find that some accommodations they received before aren't available. Is extra time for assignments something they might receive? An experienced college disability services director explains.

Research shows that some students who had accommodations in HS don't register for them in college because they don't know they have to complete a process for that. Here's how the process may look: https://bit.ly/LDBlog119

Video screen shows a college's disability services page. The speaker says "be aware that it can take anywhere from two to four weeks for this process." Video title is How do Students with Disabilities Get Accommodations at College?"
