Handicapped parking spaces are reserved for individuals who have been certified by a state Department of Motor Vehicles. If you feel that your medical condition warrants this designation, you may apply for a handicapped parking permit by getting an application at your local county courthouse, then taking it to your physician to complete. Students who are 18 years old or older are legally recognized as adults. In this case, the student is responsible for their own accommodation requests and disability-related decisions. However, students are encouraged to have an open dialog with their parents.
Parents can be a wonderful source of support.
