Participants will learn about the post-secondary programs offered by the various institutions, how to apply and prepare for their programs.
  • What supports are in place to assist my child around campus?
  • Are the buildings, classrooms, & on-campus living arrangements adaptable to students with disabilities?
  • Can my child be an off-campus student?
  • Are there supports for “during class” or “after class” study assistance?
  • What happens if my child reacts negatively on campus due to anxiety or stress? Are there supports or assistance in place?
