Both Northern Illinois University and Illinois State University have a visual impairment teaching program. Their disability services offices are pretty good at providing the requested materials and accommodations for visually impaired students.

UC Davis has a really good disability center. I'm a second year there now, and after I was admitted they basically let me have all sorts of accommodations that I'd been told colleges don't offer. Extra time on tests, alternate locations for testing, getting slides sent to me right before class, and even a lower minimum unit count, so I could take 10.5 units instead of the normal 13 and still be considered a full time student & get financial aid, since with my visual impairment I've found it exceedingly difficult to take more than 12 units at a time. You don't even need to use all of the accommodations at once, and you can add or drop them as needed. The one downside I've had is that they sometimes don't have enough iPads during testing times (especially finals) but if you don't need that kind of accommodation than it should be fine, and they offer large print tests in whatever size font you need when that's the case as well.

The only other really good school I know of is Cal Poly San Louis Obispo. When I was applying to schools I emailed them asking what kind of accommodations they offered, and they got back to me pretty fast! They had all sorts of stuff with adaptive technology. I think Davis does as well, but I don't use it cause all I need is my 12.9' iPad Pro.

All of the California State Universities have fairly decent disability services as well, but they aren't as good or as Davis or Cal Poly as far as I know, and it really depends on what campus you're looking at. I had positive experiences with Sonoma State and Sacramento State, though they were a bit limited in terms of resources.

I hope that helps some!

I'm a totally blind, first-year computer science student at $1. The entire university has around 1600 undergraduate students and does not offer graduate degrees. Despite its small size, it is (debatably) $1.

A big factor in my decision to attend here was their disability office. Their small size means you'll receive individual attention, and their location (and connections to bigger places) means you have resources.

What do you want to study? Disability services is obviously a big factor, but you should also look more generally into how the place you attend will support the thing you want to study.

I went to Northern Illinois University and the support I received wasn't very good. The one thing to remember is the teaching program and the disability support are two separate things. They do not share resources.

I majored in English, and I hat a hard time getting my novels in an accessible format. I would not recommend end that school. That said, every other department I dealt with was great.

My fully blind friend is at penn and loves it!

I went to undergrad at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Their center for students with disabilities is awesome! Many students with visual impairment, wheel chairs, etc. go there because the campus was very much designed and updated with accessibility in mind.
