Students With Mental Health Disabilities Suffer From Discrimination Across College Campuses, Abigail Nequa Napp
Capstones
Over the course of several months, we investigated and reported on how colleges and universities have been discriminating against students with mental health disabilities.

In several instances, institutions discriminated and punished students instead of accommodating their mental health disabilities as required by law.

This article describes the unique journey both of a blind student in our Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Program and of the faculty who taught him as they all navigated through uncharted territories. Despite the fact that the physical therapy profession trains practitioners to help clients with disabilities to maximize their physical function and teaches them how to adapt to the challenges of daily activity, we initially assumed that a blind student would not be able to complete the program or be able to become a self-sufficient practitioner. We were very wrong. This article describes our learning process over the course …
