Riassunto:

"Just when I've mastered the IEP process, here comes college."

If you're a parent of a student with a disability who has an IEP or 504 or you're a professional who works with them, you probably know the K-12 landscape well. But you may have questions about what happens for these students when they get to college, where the shifts in prevailing laws result in a disability accommodation system that works differently, the academic demands increase, and some of the supports students have used in high school won't be available.
The good news is that research shows that the proper preparation can help students make a smooth college transition! But the planning needs to be rooted in a thorough understanding of the changes they'll encounter in the college environment.

In this essential guide, college learning disabilities specialist Elizabeth C. Hamblet builds a foundation of knowledge step-by-step and answers your urgent questions.

In 7 Steps to College Success, you'll learn how:

·students access accommodations, and which ones commonly are and aren't approved
·parents and professionals can help students develop the key personal and academic skills needed for self-management at college
·students can find colleges that are a good fit in all of the important ways and what admissions directors want them to know about the application process

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.
