Navigating Higher Education with a Bleeding Disorder – Bleeding Disorders Council of California
Bleeding Disorders Council of California shared on LinkedIn:
”Navigating college with a chronic condition like a bleeding disorder comes with a unique set of challenges, but you don’t have to do it alone.
As young adults transition into higher education, taking the lead on their health care and academic needs is a major milestone. Unlike K-12 education, accommodations in higher education don’t transfer automatically. Students must initiate the process!
College students: To set yourself up for success, start early by requesting accommodations as soon as you’re enrolled, since the process can take 6–8 weeks. Reach out to your health care team or Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) to secure medical documentation.
Practice proactive communication by connecting with the Office of Access and Learning Accommodation (OALA) and your professors at the start of each semester.
Proactive planning ensures you have the support you need — before you need it.
Check out the full guide on navigating higher education and accommodations.”
