<p>Does anybody's high school make special accommodations because they have health complications?</p>
<p>At my school, there are different numbered "plans". The 504 plan is for medical (I think). I'm excused for being late to school, and in gym I can't get a zero for sitting out (imposing self-limitations---and I don't abuse this). </p>
<p>I know I can't be pampered my whole life, but it worries me that I'll be putting myself at a serious health risk wherever I go (cold weather, hot weather, whatever). </p>
<p>Is anybody worried too, about having to adjust to college life (in a medical sense)?</p>
<p>I don’t suffer from any physical disabilities, but I do suffer from GAD and Depression. My counselor and teachers have been very supportive throughout my high school career, and I am worried that the college scene will be different. However, I’m prepared to find a therapist and continue working with my school so that I feel prepared to take on the college life. I’m not overly worried, surprisingly.</p>
<p>that’s good!
i have to find a new doctors near wherever i go to school, and since they aren’t “regular” doctors it’s kind of weird.
what grade are you in?</p>
<p>and at my school they’ve been great too, my GC has the same condition as me so she understands. i feel like at college i won’t get personalized attention.</p>
<p>And yeah, I guess I’m a bit worried, too. I mean, if I don’t find one pretty quick I’ll feel pretty isolated (I know my need for one isn’t as important as your need). However, I am fairly confident I’ll be able to and so I’ll deal with it when the time comes. For all I know, i could be staying local.</p>
<p>I knew someone would pick up on that part haha. </p>
<p>I don’t like small schools (2,000 student ones, etc). I meant that I felt like my needs wouldn’t be addressed (although schools do have services and department for students like that, right?)</p>
<p>Thanks for your suggestion lol but I have yet to visit a small school that wowed me^^</p>
Small schools rock</p>
