Disclose Disability While Applying? Or Wait?

I would recommend that your child not disclose any disability until after acceptance. You can get a lot of information from CC, Reddit, and other internet searches about a specific school’s support atmosphere for students with disabilities before making your list. Once your student has acceptances in hand, they should visit the campus and visit the disability services office (by appointment) and have a discussion with the disability support officer about what could be arranged. But I’d only do that AFTER having been accepted.
