Tips from a student

Chelsea W., a recreation therapy student who has used services for students with disabilities, offers these tips:

  • “Be an advocate for yourself. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need.”
  • “The sooner you let the university know that you need help, the sooner you get the help.”
  • “Remember that it is your responsibility to give your professors your Access Plan.”
  • “Don’t just hand your professors your Access Plan. Make an appointment to go over it with them. It is important to build a relationship with them.”
  • “Tutoring is very helpful.”
