MDA QUEST MEDIA
When Abby Dreyer, a sophomore at Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU), was choosing a college, she scheduled tours at ECSU and another college on the same day.
Abby lives with spinal muscular
atrophy (SMA) and uses a power wheelchair, so she contacted the schools
ahead of time to tell them about her accessibility needs.
“I told the other college that I need
accommodations and an accessible route,” she says.
“I got there, and the elevator was
broken in the building where you check in.
The tour started 20 minutes late.
The accessibility office was not
helpful and didn’t understand my requests.”
