Rhode Island
Students with Disabilities Transition to College
The dream of a college education is now becoming a reality for many high school students with disabilities. Civil rights laws have now opened the doors to students with disabilities in growing numbers. Students with a disability who have been identified as in need of accommodations or special education during the elementary or secondary school years will need to be aware of their special challenges, the laws that protect them, how to plan for their postsecondary education and employment, and the resources that are available to them for assistance. This Web page is designed to help these students, their families, and educators that work with them.
