The Global Education Office (GEO) is dedicated to providing international education opportunities to students with disabilities. Students with disabilities should begin the process of planning their study abroad experience at least one year in advance. Begin by meeting with the Office of Disability Services and GEO to identify accommodations that will be necessary abroad. This list of accommodations helps to identify the program that best suits your particular needs. Don’t let these challenges dissuade you from studying abroad. By living in another country, you’ll gain a new perspective on how other cultures treat people with disabilities. Your experiences abroad will help you grow and give you an appreciation of everything you have at home.
