 IDEA rights do not follow your child into college and neither will her IEP.
Post-secondary schools have no obligation to create a document like the IEP and there is no protection under IDEA. But post-secondary schools are subject to Section 504 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Your child will need to make a decision whether to notify the college about her disability and request accommodations. Some students do - others choose not to.
Colleges assume that the student, not the parent, will be advocating for their needs. College-bound students need self advocacy skills.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate provides loads of resources, in-depth information guides, and good advice about what to look for and how to choose a continuing education program.
We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.
