    Episode 4: 7 Steps to College Success

    This episode is an interview with Elizabeth C. Hamblet author of 7 Steps to College Success: A Pathway for Students with Disabilities. If you’re a parent of a student with a disability who has an IEP or 504 or you’re a professional who works with them, you probably know the K-12 landscape well. But you may have questions about what happens for these students when they get to college, where the shifts in prevailing laws result in a disability accommodation system that works differently, the academic demands increase and some of the supports students have used in high school won’t be available. The good news is that research shows that proper preparation can help students make a smooth college transition!
