So many questions!
New rules will apply at college, and parents will need to step away. Are you ready to let your child take control of the situations at college? Have you prepared your child to advocate for themselves? Does your child understand his or her disability and the accommodations they need for college? Is your child prepared to handle college without an accommodation they may no longer qualify for? Do you know how to arrange updated documentation and why you may need it and how to find out if you need it?
