7 Steps for Success (2014) (Guide)

 

The Council for Exceptional Children has released “7 Steps for Success,” a book on the transition from high school to college. This transition is challenging for any student, but for young adults with disabilities, it can be even more difficult. In addition to increased academic demands and less structure and support, students have to navigate a disability services system very different from the one they knew in high school. This practical guide describes how the system for accommodations works and students’ rights and responsibilities within that system, uses the voices of actual professionals and college students to explain the skills and strategies students should develop while they are in high school to ensure success in college, and answers questions students with disabilities frequently ask about disclosing their disability in the admissions process.  http://www.cec.sped.org/Tools-and-Resources/CECommunity/Transition-Publications
