Hi, I hope someone can give me advice for my problem.

I've been attending a private college but they have treated me very unfairly. They put me on a disability plan but then did not follow the rules themselves. They use psychology students as counsellors which I was assigned to, but they have no understanding of my disability at all. They made unfair judgements because of my disability, and then accused me of stalking a staff who I trusted when I was looking for help.

The college asked me for my side of events but did not investigate the issue at all before giving me a "serious misconduct" warning and claimed I was a threat to staff and students. They gave me rules to ban me from the staff member they claim I was stalking and did everything they can to make me feel unwelcome at the college. They even gave me misleading instructions so I couldn't enrol for the last term. I feel like they are doing this to force me to quit. I had to see psychologists many times because of how they treated me and my study suffered badly.

I have evidence that I can study on campus, get good results and can get along with students with no problems.

Is there anyway I can get compensated for these problems and psychologists fees?

Understand that unlike the accommodations you were given as a public school student, the amount of accommodation at the post-secondary level is completely different. By and large they don't need to have any "understanding" of your disability at all. Your disability doesn't give you the right to harass the employees of the institution.

Given the complete lack of details and the fact that you're probably incapable of relating the actual events happening, I suggest that if you've exhausted whatever due process your institution may offer, you contact an attorney.
Note however, my guess is that you likely have zero chance of recovering money you have spent.

If you had bothered to tell us where in the world you are located (as the forum software inserts in the initial post that you decided gratuitously to just erase instead of answering), we could direct you to some public assistance on the topic in your area.
