Ten Ways to Get and Manage
College Disability Supports
Welcome to the Post-ITT Checklist for Seniors. We assume that
you are here because you have a plan to go to college and that you either
have been accepted by a college or are in the process of applying.
The Post-ITT Checklist is designed for future college students
who have a disability and think they may need support services in college.
Because getting support is very different in college compared to high
school, it is important to understand how to get and manage the services
that are available there. The Checklist does NOT cover other
equally important topics that all new college students face like making
the right choice of college, getting financial aid, managing money,
living away from home, etc. We hope you have been and will continue
to work with your family and teachers on these important issues.
At Post-ITT, we believe you should work on your college support plans
while you are in high school. We developed 45
Post-ITT Guidance Activities and a comprehensive Web
site to help. We hope you have used these activities. If you have,
this Checklist will be a reminder and review. On the other
hand, you may not have known about the Post-ITT Guidance Activities.
In that case, think of the Checklist as important things to
consider and do now.
Each item has information and links that can help you. As you read
the information, ask yourself questions like:
- Do I already know this?
- Have I done it?
- Why is this important?
- How will I complete this?
We have tried to keep it brief. If you click a link that creates a
popup window, be sure to close the window when done. A few links require
Adobe
Acrobat Reader™, which may be downloaded and installed on your
computer free if you have not done so already.
One way to start is by selecting the buttons on the left. Take your
time and talk with others about what you learn as you go along. Consider
doing one or two checkpoints each week so you have enough time to think
about your discoveries.
Another approach is go to the Are You Ready
button on the left and answer the questions. Then you can work on the
areas where you need the most information.
Good luck and write us if
you have suggestions to make this Checklist better!
