<p>I have been very happy with the disabilities office at the University of Southern Maine, where my son goes. Although it’s a small school, the office bends over backwards to support him. When he calls the office, the receptionist always says, “Well, hello, MaineLonghorn’s son! What can I help you with today?” He takes tests in their office and is given double time. They provided a note taker for him one semester, but he decided he didn’t need one after that. The professors have been very understanding. His advisor even told him that she had struggled with mental illness as a teenager.</p>
<p>He didn’t fall ill until his freshman year in college, so we didn’t have any disclosure decisions to make during the application process.</p>
