Find Your Campus MatchThe Challenge of College Transition
Transitioning from high school special education to college is overwhelming. Unlike K-12 education, college students must self-advocate and colleges vary dramatically in their disability support. Parents ask:
- Which colleges have strong disability services programs?
- Will my child get the same accommodations they had in high school?
- Are there specialized programs for autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities?
- How do I compare disability services across universities?
Campus Match answers all of these questions with verified, accurate data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CEDAR Database information accurate?
Yes. CEDAR is a verified database of disability services information. We update our data regularly to ensure accuracy. However, we always recommend confirming details directly with each university's disability services office.
Do colleges legally have to provide accommodations?
Yes, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504, colleges must provide reasonable accommodations. However, the specific accommodations vary by institution, which is why Campus Match helps you find the right fit.
How is college different from high school special education?
In K-12, the school must identify and serve students. In college, students must self-identify, provide documentation, and request accommodations. Campus Match helps you find colleges where this process is supportive and comprehensive.
Can I search by specific accommodation?
Yes. Campus Match lets you filter by specific accommodations like extended testing time, note-taking services, priority registration, single housing, and more.
