The transition from high school is challenging for any high school student, but what happens for students who’ve had IEPs or 504 plans?

For students with disabilities, the disability services system in college is very different from the one they knew in high school. The good news is that with the proper preparation, students can enjoy success!

Elizabeth C.  Hamblet, college learning disabilities specialist and author of Seven Steps to College Success: A Pathway for Students with Disabilities, explains the shift in relevant laws as students move to college, how the system for accommodations works there, what is commonly available, and some tips for how to help students find the right level of support.

In addition to working at a university, she is a nationally-requested speaker on preparing students with disabilities for successful college transition. Hamblet’s work has appeared in numerous journals and online platforms. She offers advice, tools, videos and helpful links for families, students, and professionals on her website at www.LDadvisory.com. She also shares resources on numerous social media platforms.
