This is an online college guide for students with physical disabilities containing interactive charts of the most disability friendly colleges and profiles of the colleges that provide services necessary for students with physical disabilities to live on campus.

Frustrated at the lack of information available when beginning their college search, an Atlanta college student and his mom created the website. It contains up-to-date information such as:

  • Detailed descriptions and photos of four colleges providing all of the services necessary for seriously physically disabled students to live on campus
  • Interactive charts of 75 colleges that go beyond ADA including: accessibility, personal care, transportation, adaptive sports, academic rank, contact information and how the Ivy League stacks up
  • High school vs. college comparison
  • Tips on commuting to college
  • Ten things students with physical disabilities should look for on a college visit
  • An interactive disability-friendly college blog to help create a database of college experiences and begin a conversation on college accessibility
