[Journalists] need some help

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hello Ann,

All universities must provide some level of reasonable accommodations under 
the law even when they don't have an office specifically for that purpose. 
Even as an accessibility advocate, I must advise you to go for the best 
school you can get into and focus on that rather than on whether or not it 
has a disability resource center. Just a thought IMHO. :-)

So none of these schools were acomindating? That is really horrible. I
checked out pace, and I didn't see a disability office on the site. I hear
LIU was a good school.  I would think that since these are private schools,
that they would be more than willing to help out.  How did you manage?   How
far is Long Island from manhatton? I'm going to check out schools in Jersey
as well.  Do you know if the NFB will grand scholarships for someone who
wants to persue a masters degree?

Greetings Ann,
there are some good schools within the NY area such as pace, liu, and some
city schools in CUNY.  the problem with them is that they are eather not
state schools.  Or the ones in the state level IE cuny are horrible with the
disability services.  I went to both privit and cuny schools to obtain my BA
in media studies.
