Representation Of Individuals In Higher Education
Advocating For Individuals With Disabilities In Higher Education
When colleges deny or reject requests for accommodations, it can place substantial barriers between students with disabilities and their ability to pursue their dreams. We can help you pursue the support and resources you need.
Understanding Your Rights As A College Student
Post secondary institutions are required under Section 504 Of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to provide reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities. Depending on the circumstances, the accommodations you can request from your school can include anything from additional time on projects and tests to a private dormitory room. We can help determine if your college or university has provided you with allowable accommodations.
We also represent students with disabilities who are being disciplined by their college or university. Call 216-291-4332 to tell us more about your situation.
Taking Accommodation Issues Head-On
Failure to accommodate individuals with disabilities is a pervasive issue at many colleges and universities. Every student deserves equal access to education, and we are committed to advocating for your right to the support and resources you need. If your school fails to accommodate you, we can:
Provide your school with proper evidence of your disability. Work with administrators to understand why your accommodations were denied. Facilitate negotiations between you and the school to get the accommodations you need. Take schools and education professionals to court if their actions violate your rights.
Your school should be there to support you, not hinder you from pursuing higher education. Let us seek equity and justice on your behalf.
Compassionate Advocacy For A Brighter Future
You have so much to offer the world. And while your disability can pose significant challenges for you, we know that you can succeed when you have the proper support. That’s why we dedicate our careers to fight for you. Together, we can help you seek the accommodations resources you need to succeed.
