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: </span><a href="http://www.onlinecolleges.net/for-students/college-accessibility-visually-impaired-students/">http://www.onlinecolleges.net/for-students/college-accessibility-visually-impaired-students/</a><br>
<br>
Our resource addresses visually impaired students' most common concerns, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>How to take advantage of school resources and legal rights as a student with a disability</li>
<li>A hand-selected list of scholarships available only to blind and visually impaired students</li>
<li>Suggested assistive technologies for students with visual impairments</li>
</ul>
<p>At <a href="http://onlinecolleges.net">OnlineColleges.net</a>, 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.<br>
<br>
<strong>Please help us reach as many students as possible by sharing a link to our guide on your site.</strong> I suggest this page: <a href="http://nfbofky.org/accessibility.php" target="_blank">http://nfbofky.org/accessibility.php</a><br>
