More Info:
There are many changes for students transitioning out of high school or transition settings to postsecondary education. This resource guide was created to assist students and their families to navigate this often-difficult process, and to encourage more students to achieve to the highest of their abilities, while helping individuals with disabilities to have a more equitable educational experience that continues past high school or ages 18-21 transition programs.
When students are asked whether they plan on graduating from a four-year college, 25% of youth with disabilities indicated they would, compared with 89% of youth in the general population (Newman et al. 2010). Students who receive appropriate accommodations, and attend postsecondary education, experience improved career options, greater earning potential, higher job satisfaction, and more secure employment — similar to their peers without disabilities (Fleming & Fairweather, 2012).
