Helping Students With Disabilities Prepare for College
90 Minute Live Audio Conference December 8, 2011 - 1 pm ET (12 pm CT, 11 am MT, 10 am PT)
Benefits
Access to postsecondary education begins in high school. School personnel and parents are often confused by seemingly inconsistent requirements of postsecondary institutions and admissions tests, and seek to better understand how they can help the families of students with special needs transition to postsecondary. As ever increasingly important college admissions and placement tests play different roles in students' transition, it is critical that the various people involved in the transition process understand how to approach these issues.
This live audio conference is intended to provide attendees with information to assist them to help students and families of students with disabilities transition from high school to college or other postsecondary programs. Attendees will learn: What information about a student's performance should or can be shared with the new school and when to share it, how to coach parents through this transition, and common issues students with disabilities have when transitioning to a postsecondary program, as illustrated by case studies. Attendees will also learn how to assist students with securing accommodations on admissions and placement tests.
Learning Objectives:
• You will be able to define who is a person with a disability.
• You will be able to review the importance of early transition planning.
• You will be able to discuss the effect of accommodations on the performance of students with disabilities.
Who Should Attend?
This live audio conference is designed for special education teachers and directors, speech pathologists, classroom teachers, school administrators, counselors, psychologists, case managers, social workers and parents.
