Life after high school is loaded with new experiences and challenges along with a healthy dose of reality. Have you ever asked yourself what more can you do for transition students? If so, you are not alone. Setting students up for success requires knowledge of how the world works outside of the K-12 educational system. It requires the courage to step back and coach for postsecondary life. It also involves honesty and transparency.
This session will dive into the accommodations provided in the K-12 setting that may hinder transition success. Often referred to as the Deadly Accommodations, the supports outlined in IDEA and provided to students may or may not exist after high school. Once that student takes wraps up their K-12 education, their world and the accommodations available to them will change. The Americans with Disabilities Act becomes their guide to reasonable accommodations. You’ll leave this session with clear examples of how to transition your transition students so they have the knowledge to be successful after high school.
Here's what will be covered:
-
Key differences between IDEA and the ADA as it relates to disability related accommodations.
-
Comparison and contrast of three K-12 accommodations with how those translate into what is available after they leave high school.
-
Three ways in which disability related post-secondary accommodations can be provided.
