The website was down for some time due to problems with the server. In addition, I had to change the site from disabledstudent.net to disabledstudent.com. Fortunately, it is now back up and running. Over the next few weeks I will be updating the site, so keep checking back for new and updated interviews and articles.

Welcome to Disabled Student, the website devoted to informing and empowering physically disabled students in mainstream school settings.

My name is Kelly. I am a 20-year-old sophomore at Princeton University, and I have been in mainstream classrooms since kindergarten. I have Cerebral Palsy and I am visually impaired. As the only disabled student in my class, I often felt isolated. No one else understood the problems unique to my disabilities. There was no one to go to for advice. I had no older successful disabled students to serve as role models. I now know they were "out there," but there was just no easy way for us to communicate. I have created this website so that disabled students can help each other.

I want to be able to share my experiences, my successes and failures, my frustrations and triumphs, to help other disabled students have the same positive and rewarding school experiences I have had. I hope to provide a forum for other disabled students to share their solutions to problems many of us share. Adults who provide services to disabled students will have a way to broadcast insights, information, resources and techniques which have helped disabled students overcome difficulties. Most importantly, disabled students will know that they are not alone.
