⭐Advocacy Groups⭐
Advocacy groups are vital in supporting college students with disabilities by offering resources, guidance, and advocacy to ensure equal access to education and opportunities. These groups also play a key role in career development and the transition to the workforce. They help students navigate academic challenges, develop career skills, and connect with potential employers, ensuring a smoother transition from college to the workplace.
