There are questions you can ask and should ask of the college accessibility staff. Last week was orienting you to the world of accessibility work, in part, and why some questions cannot be answered. However, these questions you can ask.
These questions should be part of you college tour and college choice process. It adds some vital information for students with disabilities that otherwise would get missed and not considered. In this episode. I’ll cover what areas are important like the school's culture and office culture, how are disabilities percieved, student responsibilities, and how to address issues that arise.
It’s important to get all the information up front. This is the only way to make the best choice. What’s the best choice? It’s an informed one. Students can ask these questions at any time, even if they are in college. Yet, it’s best to ask before you make your choice of where to go. Should the information be the only consideration, no, but it can be important and make a big difference.
Ep 86 Got Accommodation questions? Why you may not get the answers you seek.

As a parent of a son with specific learning disabilities and dyslexia, I worried about the same thing. I get it. It takes a lot of willpower not to take over the process and get it done. I understand that if it gets done, that is just one less thing about which to worry.
You may have some common questions: are the accommodations from high school going to be offered? What other accommodations do schools have? What accommodations could get approved? Do you have X accommodation for X disability? Logical and understandable questions. So, how come it seems disability staff give you the run-around or cannot answer a few simple questions? As a former accessibility coordinator, here’s my answer.
