Sarah,
First off, start an email discussion with all parties involved.  Emails help
with a creation and formation of a paper-trail witch can be useful in
advocating as well as litigation should that be necessary.  Which
college/university is this?  Feel free to email me off-list for further help
at William.odonnell1 at yahoo.com.  Also, consider seeking support from public
interest groups, any disability advocacy organizations (local independent
living centers), and see if your college/university has a disability student
organization.  I Hope this helps.
