Planning Ahead:

The earlier you begin planning, the better. Together, we can help ensure a smooth, informed, and empowering experience abroad:

  • Talk with your Program Manager and Disability Services about your needs
  • Share any accommodation requests as soon as possible, ideally right after program acceptance
  • Explore how disability access looks in your host country - services and norms may differ
  • Be flexible, open to alternatives, and ask questions early and often
  • Prepare to get enough medications you may be taking well ahead of time and have enough for the entirety of your time abroad.
  • Learn key phrases about your condition in the host country鈥檚 language, especially if you might need medical or emotional support.

Useful Resources to Begin Your Exploration

"Admittedly, I did not know if it would be possible to go abroad as someone with a disability at first, but I advocated for myself and asked questions despite the beliefs of others thinking that I could not go abroad I participated in excursions that I never thought of doing before and saw the power of language and culture鈥
