Education Could Improve Information on Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

The percentage of college students with disabilities has grown since 2004—largely due to more students reporting mental health conditions.  Some students with disabilities face challenges in college because they don't know they should request and self-advocate for reasonable accommodations.  The Department of Education has issued tips for students on this topic that may not reach them. And college staff said Education doesn't notify people when new guidance is available. Our recommendations address these issues.
