Resources from the National Center for College Students with Disabilities

As part of its mission, the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) is to provide assistance to colleges and universities, including faculty and disability ​services providers. NCCSD is the only federally-funded national center in the U.S.for college and graduate students with any type of disability, chronic health condition, or mental or emotional illness.

At the NCCSD site you can:
– Find free information for students, parents, families, high school and college faculty and staff in our  NCCSD Clearinghouse.**  Though not exhaustive, the NCCSD has collected their favorite resources about disability and higher education in one place. https://www.nccsdclearinghouse.org/
The Center’s Coronavirus – Covid-19 and College Students with Disabilities, page is updated frequently and has general information about Covid-19 and information on different topics ranging from mental health, housing, food insecurity, online classes/online learning and much more.
**(Higher education faculty and staff with disabilities can use the NCCSD, too.)

NCCSD Develops List of Resources Related to Immigration and Disability

On January 27, 2017, the President released an Executive Order “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States.” This Executive Order  restricts or blocks nationals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from entering the U.S.

In response to questions from higher education students, faculty, and staff with disabilities, the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) has developed a list of resources related to immigration and disability, including information for traveling, customs, and immigration detention.  These are being updated regularly, and may be useful to those outside of higher education (with a caution that the web page is only available in English at this time).

To access the immigration resources directly, go to: http://www.nccsdonline.org/immigration-news.html.
