Hello Hina,
I think I may shared this with you some time ago, but for the benefit of the group on Mobility International USA's webcite there is a section on rights of international students with disabilities studying the United States.
www.miusa.org
There is also a section on scholarship and fellowship opportunities available for international students with disabilities studying in the United States.
I would erge everyone to go to this webcite and learn Mobility International USA.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
