ADA: The Americans with Disabilities Act may provide some direction here. Accomodations for classes and testing are easily obtained, but scholarship or financial aid based on a disability may not be as directly attainable. Educational grants are available, but hard to obtain.

Yes: There are many financial options. Your child may qualify for social security disability funding due to the severity of illness and you may wish to inquire with your pediatrician about and get forms at the local security office.
