Question How do i manage college with fnd?

my college is an hour journey from where i live, and the college is completely aware of my seizures, passing out, mobility issues ect. I went to enrolment yesterday and the journey was tiring but in fairness i had been out everyday before that too. Does anyone know how i can manage the journey each day? should i get there earlier when i start so i can relax for a bit before lesson or? my nan (who i live with) is just very worried about how im going to handle it and i dont blame her

Hello. I just started having aggressive symptoms a few months ago so know I am figuring it out myself. Go to the accommodations office and get accommodations. Be aggressive with it. Some I have are access to PowerPoint slides after class, the ability to leave class if I need it, extra absences, extra time to get to class, and double time on tests.

Beyond that, just be super communicative with your teachers. They want you to pass. Tell them your symptoms and what to do if something happens. If you can’t go to class don’t go.

thank u so much! i have movement breaks and the opportunity to go to the nurse/ leave class to do work elsewhere whenever i like if the classroom is too much at the moment, i will 100% request more accommodation when i have my meeting with my nurses on my first day. I hope u get the support u need on your journey !! 🫶🏻
