Many people with disability, whether having just left school or at a later stage in life, plan to continue their education. As a student with a disability, they will need to be well informed about their rights and responsibilities as well as the responsibilities postsecondary education facilities have toward them. Being well informed will help a student ensure that they have a full opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the postsecondary education experience.
