Parking for Pregnant College Students

If your pregnant daughter is a college student, she should check to see if there are any accomodations that her school can make to help her park closer to the buildings where her classes are located so that she has less distance to walk. The school may be able to help her with "temporary disability" accomodations. But be aware that the policies of her school may be tricky to navigate.

Take, for example, a recent article in the Daily Collegian which tells the story of University of Massachusetts undergraduate Michele Copeland. She is 36 weeks pregnant and had great difficulty with the policies of that school while trying to get parking that was closer to her classes.
