Hi,I'm sorry to hear you're having those issues. I see that you live in USA and scope is based in the UK so your rights over there maybe different to over here. I'm sorry i can't help you further but i wish you well.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hiya @mfranco13,
My partner lives and studies in California. I would imagine that the support varies between universities, but they are also disabled and have managed to get adjustments with various things etc. At the very least, it sounds like it could be something worth investigating. It’s not fair that you are facing undue stress and anxiety right now. Have you been assigned a designated person to discuss disability adjustments with? If not, is there another member of staff that you could speak to? Even if they might not have all the answers, they should be able to give you a clearer idea of next steps. Good luck! & don’t stop fighting. Even though Scope is based in the UK, we’ll always be here to listenCommunity Volunteer Host (she/her) with a passion for writing and making the world a better place for disabled people to exist. -
Hi @mfranco13
Welcome to Scope’s forum. It is great to see you have joined us. Unfortunately, Scope is UK based which means we cannot offer advice outside of the UK. However, that doesn’t mean that we can’t listen to you and help you to explore how you are feeling and potential strategies.
I can hear that you are experiencing nightmares and anxiety. Do you usually receive support for your mental health? If not, would you feel comfortable accessing support for your mental health? I was wondering if you would like to talk to us further about this. If you would like to, would you like to expand on why it is causing you nightmares and anxiety? And how do you usually manage nightmares and anxiety?
Also, if you have quite a strong relationship with the staff at your university, I would encourage you to talk to them. They might be able to reassure you, or at least provide some potential strategies which are directly related to your situation and the policies in your geographical location. For example, there might be an appeals process, though I can’t say this for sure. Would you like to talk to us about why it makes you feel unsafe and anxious?
Overall, whilst we cannot provide advice outside of the UK, we can listen to you and reassure you that you don’t have to face this or anything else alone!
