That’s why she offers her webinars for an accessible price – so everyone can learn in their preferred way. See which webinar meets your needs right now.
You’ve probably gotten some bad information about college disability services and accommodations.
Have you been told:
- students will be able to take their IEP or 504 plan (neither is valid after students graduate from high school)?
- colleges have to provide the same accommodations students received in high school?
These are both wrong.
Did you know:
- there are four categories of accommodations colleges don’t have to provide. Do you know what they are?
- students are responsible for initiating the process to request accommodations and must have ongoing involvement in their implementation?
Don’t go another day thinking you know – get the facts today.
Why you need to know now what happens in the college environment
Preparing students for a smooth college transition requires having a clear picture of what the college environment doesn’t offer and what demands it places on students.
IEPs written over students’ high school years should focus on providing them with instruction in skills they’ll need to adjust to college demands. Both IEPs and 504 plans should be written each year with input from students, after discussion of what supports and modifications they’re using now that are unlikely to be available at college.
Students should graduate confident they’re ready for college. The longer you wait to learn the facts, they more likely your student(s) plans aren’t being written to appropriately prepare them for the reality of the college environment.
