Student Veterans who Experience Disability
Student Veterans who Experience Disability
Colleges like PCC are seeing increasing numbers of student veterans enrolling in our courses. Some of these veterans experience disability, but because military culture places such a high value on self-reliance, it may be difficult for some students coming to us from the armed forces to engage in the accommodation process, even when they would be eligible for services that could address some of the barriers that would otherwise impede progress.
