When your  child transitions from high school with a regular diploma or reaches the  age of 22, her entitlement to rights under IDEA ends.  
Parents of kids with disabilities are often surprised to learn that  their college-bound children are no longer eligible for IDEA services. 
 Don't wait! Start planning now if your child is considering college or continuing education. 
For the next several issues, we will publish a series about transitioning to college that will help you  plan ahead, choose a post-secondary school, find ways to  finance  continuing education, and navigate the challenges for kids with disabilities.  
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate  you'll find  articles, information, and resources about transition to life after high school. 
We hope you will forward this series to other friends, families, or colleagues.
