Description: | This book’s overall goal is to educate readers about the college disability services system and to help students prepare for success at college. When students with disabilities transition to college, they’ll find changes in the academic environment, and in the disability accommodation system. It’s important to provide them with the proper preparation so they can make a confident, smooth transition. This guide starts by discussing the laws in place and the way that they shape the accommodations system. It explains students’ responsibilities at college, and what their rights are if they choose to request accommodations. Next, it reviews the skills students need to manage independently at college – both personal and academic. Then it discusses how the laws address the admissions process, and shares what admissions directors said about it. It suggests how students can find a college that’s a good fit in all of the important ways. Finally, it explains how students request accommodations, and what ones commonly are and aren’t approved. This third edition has been greatly revised to make it equally helpful to parents and professionals. It includes updated research and interviews, and new in this edition is corrections to common myths readers may have heard. |
