Well, I didn't know that, and I also don't really know what the options are etc.

Anyone have experience with this?
On top of what everyone else has said, the reason why i found counselling and disability services at college/university helpful, is that the documentation and support avaliable is definitely on YOUR SIDE. Many other people involved in "higher education" may just treat you as a number, or just another student, or just part of the system...

For me, its easy to just get lost...with all that's involved in college/university. Counselling and Disability services could help in keeping you focused on what's important - especially if you are busy with A LOT while also attending school. to you and all as we all continue...
