Disability-Specific Information


Vertical Divider
Most of the NCCSD Clearinghouse is committed to general disability information,
emphasizing what students with different disabilities have in common and
building community among them.  The NCCSD has had many requests for disability-specific information, 
so this page provides resources based on common categories of disability.

For additional information, please see
our list of national organizations,
our resources for veterans,
and inter-sectional resources for students with disabilities who have various identities
based on race, gender, and religion.

​Professors and teaching assistants are encouraged to check out our information for instructors.  You can also use the search box to search the whole Clearinghouse.
