Students and those with disabilities have a variety of needs that may present many challenges throughout their lives, including struggles related to furthering their education. Some of these needs include financial hardships, mobility issues, quality-housing issues, and the struggle to get the assistance needed to succeed academically. Knowing where to find information related to disability services and basic needs is crucial to disabled people being able to lead functioning lives. Disability services information is also important for anyone who deals with disabled students on a regular basis, such as their families and their teachers. Resources, such as government disability benefits, special housing funds, assistive technology devices, are readily available for students with disabilities and those who work with the disabled.
