Preparing Students with Disabilities for Successful College Transition
"Just when I've figured out the IEP process..."
This was the opening of a parent's email to me. They were seeking information about what came next at college.
You're worried because you've heard that the college accommodations system is different, but then you've heard that they have to follow a 504 (or an IEP), so you're not sure what's correct. There's a lot of conflicting information out there. I get it.
I'm here to help. I've worked in college disability services offices for 25+ years. I am the author of three editions of Seven Steps to College Success: A Pathway for Students with Disabilities and how to prepare students for a successful process.
I also give presentations around the country on this topic. But I know not everyone can access those, so I have made them available for individual families and professionals to watch here.
In this webinar, you'll learn:
What laws are in place at the college level and what they mean for what college do (and don't) have to do for students
Academic accommodations commonly approved (and one important one that isn't, even though many students get it in high school)
How students get access to accommodations at college and what they have to do throughout their education
What documentation is commonly required when students request accommodations
What part disability plays (or doesn't) in the admissions process
What items should be in their "transition packet"
Worried you don't know as much as you should about the accommodations available at college?
This webinar will answer all of your questions.
Find out if your student has to give up accommodations if they attend a highly-selective school.
Learn whether private colleges provide more or better accommodations than public ones.
Discover which accommodations are offered at college and which ones aren’t.
