| Remember that on of the most important qualities for any study abroad participant is flexibility. You are going abroad to experience a different way of life, which may include a different way of dealing with your disability and/or medical condition and a different degree of independence than you are used to. It will be important to communicate your needs, but equally important to consider alternative ways to meet those needs.
