Life After High School: A Guide for Students with Disabilities and Their Families.
Graduating high school and moving on to
further education or the workplace brings with it a whole new set of
challenges, and this is especially true for students with disabilities.
This useful book provides a complete overview of the issues such
students and their families will need to consider, and outlines the key
skills they will need in order to succeed once they get there. The
authors describe the legal landscape as it applies to students with
disabilities in the USA, and how to obtain the proper disability
documentation to ensure that the student receives the right support and
accommodations in college. Focusing specifically on the issues that
affect students with disabilities, they offer advice on everything from
dealing with college entrance exams and the college application process,
to selecting the right college, visiting the campus, and achieving
medical and financial independence away from home. A list of further
resources guides students and their families towards additional sources
of information and support, and stories of students with disabilities
who have made the transition from high school to further education or
the workplace are included throughout. This accessible and thoroughly
readable book offers help and support to students with disabilities of
all kinds, and their families, both before and during the transition to
life after high school.Christina and Susan are currently
