Introduction and some disability student statistics

Hello, my name is Susan Kondracki, a fourth year journalism student at Central Connecticut State University. As one of my last requirements for my BA, which I will receive in December, I must create a beat blog for my Web Journalism class.
Having a minor case of cerebral palsy, I felt disability issues for college students was perfect for this project.

Welcome to "Know No Limits"- a blog written by and dedicated to Connecticut State University students with physical disabilities. It may also include learning disability information, but for the most part I would like to have it solely surround physical disabilities.

According to the National Center for Education April 2005 Statistics, nearly 45.8% of undergraduate students and 8.5% graduate students 15-23 of had a disability. Of undergrads 24-29, 15.5% had a disability and 33.9% of grad students had one also. Overall, you are not alone.

Having a disability does not make your college experience any less rewarding. Whether you live on campus or at your home, you can and will succeed regardless of minor or severe impairment and your university is there to help you with learning centers and disability services.

"Know No Limits" is here to help you and will address issues such as:
--Handicap Accessibility
--Disability Laws
--Campus Disability Services
--Physical Disability and the CT DMV
--Dorm Life and Disability
--College Social/Dating Scene and Disability
--And Much More...

I will do most of the posting, but if any of you have information that I cannot access that you believe will be beneficial to others, by all means, you can contribute. I wish to bring CSU students with physical disabilities together.
