Transitioning Disabled Students from K-12 to College: Creating Effective Partnerships
Students with disabilities are attending college at unprecedented rates, and the COVID-19 pandemic further amplified the mental health crisis, leading to more students entering college with disabilities. This presentation will discuss the landscape of students with disabilities transitioning to college; the difference between the ADA and IDEA, the laws that govern disability accommodation at the K12 & college levels; and effective partnerships with campus disability/accessibility partners.
Supporting Disabled, First-Year Students in their Transition from High School
Come join a conversation about how to help first-year students, both with diagnosed disabilities and long accommodation histories; as well as newly diagnosed or not-year diagnosed students. How do the ways of support vary based on the student’s experiences with disabilities and accommodation familiarity? How do accommodations in college and K-12 differ? How can new student programs and disability offices work collectively and collaboratively in supporting disabled students?
