Prepare - Students with Disabilities - Preparing for postsecondary education as a student with a disability can be intimidating; however, there are many resources at your disposal to help ease the process! It is important to begin planning early so you can consider all your options and find the best fit for you and your needs.
As you begin your journey of planning for life after high school, you should work closely with your school counselor, special education coordinators (if applicable), doctors and family members to create an individualized transition plan (IEP). This plan should outline specific goals you have, as well as accommodations and support needed for your chosen path. The plan may include considerations such as accessible campus facilities, availability of assistive technology and services provided by disability resource centers or offices.
