Ways to Improve College Transition Planning

This article is geared toward assisting educators with the transition from high school to college for their students. There are nine strategies to help students with disabilities make this transition. The nine strategies include educating IEP team members and special education faculty, reaching out to families, encouraging students' future independence, teaching students to use assistive technology, giving students the documentation they need, educating students about their disabilities and strengths, explicitly teaching learning and organizational strategies, ensuring that students are prepared to apply for accommodations at college, and creating a district-wide transition program.
