I started college 3 weeks ago. So far my biggest challenge by far is books and having those be accessible.

E.g. I tried buying a psychology e-book from my school's bookshop. The website said nothing about editions, and the assistant my father communicated with insisted it would be the latest edition... It wasn't.

Nobody knows how I'm going to get the Spanish books I need.

my daughter's (completely blind in one eye and legally blind in the other) in middle school, and I asked her, and she said getting to her classes-- the halls get super crowded, and she has a harder time navigating them. But she's in middle school, so the only WORSE thing than that would be to use the accommodation in her IEP and leave class 2 minutes early so she can go to her next class while the halls are quiet. Because middle school kids don't want to be different.

as her parent, I think one of the hardest things for her-- it's less of a problem now because they're older and don't run around as much-- but in elementary school, because she "passes for sighted" and I didn't think recess stuff could go on her IEP, she tended to just like, stand around during recess, because it's hard to interface with people who are running around and she couldn't see them. She didn't really start having friends until like 4th or 5th grade, when kids started calming down a bit.

We are very fortunate to live in a good area and her schools have been pretty good about finding solutions to how to do the academic work. Sometimes there are epic fails-- a worksheet with a visual component that had red and blue sections to compare, but she needed her work photocopied larger, and they copy things in black and white, comes to mind-- but they have been really good about supporting the academic piece.

I would second books!

Professors changing the syllabus regarding in class movies/clips and not telling me. I couldn’t give disability services a heads up that I would need the describer (a person who had seen the film and prepared a script) on a different day.

That and trying to get book lists from professors MONTHS before the semester started so that disability services could start the process.

Back when I was in grade school, accessibility and bullying from kids and adults alike were huge issues. I eventually transferred to a school for the visually impaired, but before that, it was pretty bad. I live in a tiny little small town and they have NO IDEA what to do with someone with disabilities, to the point that even some *teachers* were incredibly mean to me. Rather than actually helping me, I was stuck in a Special Ed classroom with a group of kids with disabilities that were all vastly different, and yet, they tried to teach us all the same lesson plans. I was in 9th grade being taught how to pronounce vowels and missing out on so much age appropriate education that I STILL have a deficit even in college. Like I said, I was also bullied relentlessly by other students and even teachers. Students would not talk to me and excluded me from any activity, some outright threw things at me. When I cried and asked them why they were being like this, they said it was because my eyes were weird and I wasn't normal, that they didn't want to hang out with a 'freak.' Teachers often accused me of faking my disability or using it for attention, some refused my accommodations and made a point of mocking me in front of the entire class. They often made me cry. My Mom and I went to the school board many times and even tried to involve lawyers, but absolutely nobody cared. Nothing got better until I moved out to my boarding school. This got kind of long and I know It's definitely depressing, but the thought kind of triggered a dam of issues to erupt.

I attend a university in Canada and though they claim they have great accessibility they like him much, buttons when it comes to dealing with their online learning system, so not physical accessibility more of the online learning portal
