Another reader's comment:
From New York, USA:
I am a senior at a University in New York, and Vocational Rehabilitation has
paid for my education because I have Type 1 diabetes. All you have to do
is to check under the government listing in your phone book for Vocational
Rehabilitation. Or, go to the office for Students with Disabilities at the
school your planning on attending, and ask for information. Vocational
Rehabilitation has paid for my tuition and books for me to get the education
I received. Good luck.
