INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL ACCOMMODATIONS: What accommodations do students with disabilities need when traveling abroad?
Students who study abroad will generally require similar academic accommodations that they have used on their home campuses. However, the following areas will require additional consideration: a) architectural barriers (many countries do not have the same architectural accessibility requirements as the United States), b) transportation barriers, c) technology access, and d) socio-cultural differences. The student, the disability services counselor, and an international study/education abroad program advisor should plan the experience together to develop realistic goals and expectations.
