Abstract: Students who have a mental health condition may need additional support to help them do the best they can in school and work. The American with Disabilities Act entitles students with disabilities, like mental health conditions, to get academic help with academic accommodations and other legal rights. Most schools are used to providing typical accommodations such as: note taker, extra time for assignments, and assistive technology for students of many different disabilities. Yet, the challenges of having a mental health condition are unique. This tip sheet will help individuals with mental health conditions to think “outside-the-box” to get the educational accommodations that help with their unique struggles. This publication is also available in Spanish (see accession number O22368). El artículo es disponible en español (mire al número de acceso O22368).
Descriptor Terms: ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, ACCOMMODATION, POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION, PSYCHIATRIC DISABILITIES, STUDENTS, TRANSITION, YOUTH.
