Does anyone know what government programs or nonprofit organizations out there in the USA that help dialysis patients go back to school? I am realizing now that if I stay in education I need to specialize so I have smaller classroom sizes and can focus on one subject area and excel. Is there any help if you are on disability?

Thanks everyone,

You might try to ask your Social Worker?  Or go to the Social Security Office and ask?  They love to put people back to work.
