RESOURCE Neurodiverse Students CAN and DO Succeed in College

Neurodiverse students can and do succeed in college.  While Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 entitles all students with documented disabilities to reasonable accommodations, it is important to understand that not all college disability services are created equal. Neurodiverse students must ensure that the colleges to which they apply are good fits and be prepared to advocate for themselves. As well as receiving accommodations, some students may benefit from taking a reduced course load.

Bottom line: Neurodiverse students should only apply to colleges where they can thrive!
