College within grasp for those with disabilities

Jennifer Galjour, left, who has a form of autism and other medical issues, had been told that she probably wouldn't be able to go to college. A program is helping her prove naysayers wrong. Galijour, shopping with friend Lindsay Anderson above, is now a student at Austin Community College.
Jennifer Galjour overcame a host of disabilities to earn a 3.0 GPA in her first semester of community college with the help of College Living Experience, a growing program that helps students with disabilities transition into college. Cornell University findings indicate that just 12.5% of adults with disabilities hold bachelor's degrees. Austin American-Statesman (Texas)
