[quote=Anonymous]Don’t recall which podcast (I listen while I commute), but I tried looking it up to see if it’s true. Sort of shocked at what I found.

This is from reported numbers.  Under the ADA, colleges are required to maintain an office of disabilities to register, record, and offer accommodations for disabled students (including those who had IEPs and or 504 plans.  If they inform the university).

But the really surprising part was this:

“A Majority of College Students with Disabilities Do Not Inform School, New NCES Data Show“

https://nces.ed.gov/whatsnew/press_releases/4_26_2022.asp

The podcast also claimed:  international students who come to the U.S. to study, generally report near zero disabilities, which when factored in, raises the U.S. student percentage of disabled college students even higher.

Did anyone else catch the same podcast or reporting? How do we change this?
