Helping Parents and Professionals Prepare Students with Disabilities for Successful College Transition

Elizabeth C. Hamblet has worked both ends of the college transition. (Read her full résumé.) She began her career as a high school special education teacher and then began working at the college level in the late 1990s. She is now at her third university, working in a disability services office as a learning consultant. In 2008, recognizing that too many people didn’t know about the changes awaiting students with disabilities at college, Elizabeth began offering programs to families and professionals on how to prepare students for the transition. She is an in-demand speaker who makes presentations for school districts, advocacy organizations, and professional groups and at national conferences. (See the topics she covers.) Additionally, she is a contributing writer for Disability Compliance for Higher Education, and her work has appeared in numerous other journals and online platforms. Elizabeth’s latest book edition Seven Steps to College Success: A Pathway for Students with Disabilities, is published by Rowman & Littlefield. Her 6-page concise guide on transition is published by National Professional Resources.
