> Hi Vanessa,
> 
> Students with visual impairments face a unique set of challenges transitioning to college life, from accessing materials to finding a social scene. While Student Services offices can be a great help, we wanted to provide a central source of information and resources for visually impaired college students, completely free of charge. It's available here: http://www.onlinecolleges.net/for-students/college-accessibility-visually-impaired-students/
> 
> Our resource addresses visually impaired students' most common concerns, including:
> 
> School resources and legal rights as a student with a disability
> Scholarships available only to blind and visually impaired students
> Assistive technologies for students with visual impairments
> At OnlineColleges.net, we strive to make our site accessible to all visitors by, among other best practices, creating a clear site structure and navigation, using differentiated title and text styles and sizes, and separating stylistic elements from site copy to make the site compatible with assistive technologies.
> 
> Please help us reach as many students as possible by sharing a link to our guide on your site. I suggest this page: http://kycap.ky.gov/links.htm
> 
> Let me know how you plan to share this resource, or if you have any questions. We welcome all feedback.
> 
> Looking forward to hearing from you,
> Lindsey Miller
