ABSTRACT
This quotation from a college student with a disability provides an important perspective on the transition from high school to college. Students with disabilities need to prepare not only for the transition to postsecondary education, but must also prepare to remain and persist in college. There are several decisions and preparations for college that are the same for all students, including students with disabilities. Every student needs to consider the size and location of the college, the programs and majors available, extracurricular offerings, the diversity of students, and the availability of scholarships or fi nancial aid. However, students with disabilities must explore additional areas when determining an appropriate college or university program. Some of these include the availability of support services, campus accessibility, and documentation requirements to obtain services.
