Community Resources

Support Services

Develop awareness of community resources like State Departments of Rehabilitation, Veterans Administrations Regional Centers, public assistance health / financial benefits, off-campus mental health supports etc.

• Consider initiating or continuing off-campus academic and mental health supports in addition to campus offerings if needed. 
• Many students can benefit greatly from working with the Department of Rehabilitation.
• Start early as these entities may have multistep processes that can take time to initiate.

Research community resources that you might have access to that can assist you during your college years. Campus disability offices may also be able to help you identify or provide referrals for these resources.
