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

“Just when I’d figured out the IEP process, here comes college.”

This quote from a parent may speak to you. Whether you’re a parent/guardian or professional, you may wonder what happens (or doesn’t) for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, and other disabilities at college:

Do they need a 504 plan or IEP from their high school?

If they have one, does the college have to provide the same accommodations students had in high school?

You’ve come to the right place.

Elizabeth C. Hamblet is a recognized author and speaker who offers advice drawn from her 20+ years as a college learning disabilities specialist.

ABOUT ELIZABETH C. HAMBLET

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.
