AnonyMom: At any UC/CSU all you have to do is submit documentation from a professional psychiatrist/psychologist and then discuss what you need from a disability counselor. After that you attend an orientation session and fill a few forms out. Afterwords you just give your professors a piece of paper at the beginning of the quarter to make sure that they are aware and go about your business. It’s that simple.

California has some of the most iron clad disability oriented laws in the nation and I am thankful to reside in this state. If you are a disabled high school student and are worried about your future PLEASE REMEMBER that if you go to a public university you are protected by laws and they want to serve you. In my experience, the DRC center at UCSC is staffed by some of the most caring, helpful people I have met in my life and they will make every effort to ensure that you succeed.
