Ability Abroad
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies only in the US, and it is crucial to plan ahead to learn if your current accommodations are available. Understanding your accommodation needs will help you choose a country and program that can support your psychological, learning, physical disabilities, and/or chronic health conditions. Disclose your accommodation needs or concerns early on to your Education Abroad Advisor, Exchange University, or Partner Program Coordinator to confirm what the access will be abroad.
