What colleges accept people with disabilities?

I wanted to know if Colleges in the U.S accepted kids with Disability. like a impediment or something around that. Do anyone know anyone who did? or maybe know someone who got a great career even tho they had a impediment. Like maybe a doctor or Military officer ect.

( By impediment I mean a speech one, like one where you can’t Pronoun Words right)

and if colleges accept peoples like this do they get treated the same as everyone else or not?

Thank

Answer #1

not only are you set to get into college based on the legality but there are probably more scholarships for you than there are for me, a dyslexic going into architecture. Since my dyslexia isn’t “severe enough” to be considered a full blown handicap I don’t qualify but there are hundreds of scholarships awaiting you, believe me I’ve looked.

Answer #2

Given that it is illegal to discriminate based on disability, plenty of people get into colleges. My friend has a learning disability (she’s getting her masters) and two of my professors (have doctorates) use wheelchairs. So a disability does not stop one from doing anything. However, having a disability is not going going to excuse low test scores or bad grades… So regardless of your disability, if you cannot write well, or have poor scores, colleges will not accept you.

Answer #3

if your smart and work hard they will accept you. if you didnt get a job or into college soley because you have a speech inpediment then you could sue for discrimanation. and colleges wont treat you didnt from anyone else. you would have the same expected of you as everyone else attending. your on your own in college pretty much

Answer #4

Colleges in the U.S. will take any one if they’re smart and work hard enough. Speech problems will get you a grant in a lot of cases look at Steven Hawkins the man cant talk with out a computer, no offense. He’s one of the smartest men in the world so a little impediment is nothing. Plus they cant turn you away and they will do a ton to help you over come or find a way around it.
