This transition guide is designed to help students with disabilities and their families prepare for the transition from high school to college or other postsecondary education opportunities. It provides information about planning ahead, understanding available supports, developing self-advocacy skills, and exploring educational options that can support long-term goals and independence.
The resource also helps families and students better understand differences between high school and college support systems, including disability services, accommodations, and student responsibilities in postsecondary settings. By encouraging early planning and informed decision-making, the guide supports students in building confidence and preparing for a successful transition into higher education and adult life.
