That is also the situation in Canada. But we don't have an effective mechanism for the individual to pay themselves. So students can only come to school during the hours that they won't have to use the washroom or eat. Makes it pretty inconvenient to complete a program!!
So, do your students have adequate direct funding and a mechanism to hire and direct their own care while on campus??
thanks!

As far as I know, personal assistance and care is not the responsibility of
the college; rather, it is the individual's responsibility. That doesn't
prohibit the college from assisting, but it's not required under Section
504, for instance, or, as far as I know, under the ADA.

Subject: attendant care in post secondary
Can anyone reference for me any institutional best practices that may
provide students with physical disabilities the attendant care they need
such as personal grooming, toileting, feeding assistance etc while at
school? I am particularly interested in the funding source, education?
health? voc rehab?
thank you!
