Know Your Rights...

Picture
There are two main pieces of legislation/law that protect you as a disabled student and they are as follows:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Section 504


Also, the Department of Justice has made this guide for the purpose of explaining what rights an individual with disabilities has regardless of where they live.
Furthermore, the EEOC (United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) has put out a guide which discusses the ADA as it applies to employment - access it HERE.
