The following are brief summaries of the six sections of the Post-ITT Guidance Activities. The links will take you to a extended preview and rationale taken from the Introduction to Students for each section of the Activities. Section 1: Self-Advocacy -- 9th GradeStudents with disabilities must know themselves well and be able to talk about what they need to in order to be successful. We recommend that these Activities be started in the 9th grade and be built upon throughout the high school years. This can be done through student active participation in IEP meetings and direct involvement in advocating for accommodations.Section 2: Assistive Technology -- 9th GradeAssistive Technology is one of the most common ways students with disabilities gain access to instruction in college. These Activities introduce students to the concept that technologies can be used to work around the limitations caused by disability. Because it takes time to become skilled with some technologies, we urge that students and their IEP committees begin the process early in the high school years.Section 3: Planning for College -- 10th GradeLearning about college requirements and researching areas of interests will help students establish realistic goals. Activities in this section ask students to examine the relationship between their post-high school goals and post-secondary education. They are urged to take full advantage of existing college exploration opportunities and to take pre-college tests with accommodations appropriate to their disabilty. We recommend the tenth grade for these activities in order to insure that the student is enrolled in classes appropriate to their goals.Section 4: Applying to College -- 11th and 12th GradesStudents become aware of college admission procedures by using clearly defined tasks and timelines. High school students who are seriously considering post-secondary education should be taking action during their junior year. These Activities help them research college options and develop an appropriate application.Section 5: Disability Services 11th and 12th GradesStudents are introduced to disability law, the requirements and demands of college courses, and support services available. These Activities focus on how college disability supports will be different from what they are used to in high school. Students will research the nature of disability services in the colleges they are considering. With this knowledge they will follow the procedure necessary to become eligible. This process should be completed prior to graduation from high school.Section 6: Adult Services -- 12th gradeStudents may access services from adult agencies once they leave the K-12 system. Direct coordination between these agencies and the high school should occur no later than the senior year in high school.
