HOW TO CHOOSE A COLLEGE WITH A DISABILITY

MDA QUEST MEDIA


It’s important for college students with disabilities to think about transportation on and off campus.

Connor Stager is studying economics and genetics at the University of Georgia.

He lives with distal arthrogryposis, which impairs the senses of touch and proprioception (the sense of the body’s movement and position) and affects his walking.

“When I met with the University of Georgia, they told me about the networks and systems in place, including the paratransit system,” he says.

The campus has a paratransit system linking all the buildings, and the Athens-Clarke County public transit system has accessible buses that allow him to travel off campus.
