Transition Night for Students with Disabilities”
Office for Students with Disabilities at the College of Lake County
Virtual Presentation: Wednesday, Nov. 18, 5:30-7:30pm
On Wednesday, November 18th, The Office for Students with Disabilities at the College of Lake County will host a virtual transition night to assist students with disabilities with transitioning to college. Deciding to attend college is a huge life step, and navigating the college environment with a disability can at times, be a daunting task. Come and learn how disability services changes once high school ends, how students may gain support and accommodations, and how students lead the way. Let our office help!
5:30pm – “Transitioning to College for the student with a disability”
Thomas Crowe, MSW
Director, Office for Students with Disabilities
In this zoom session, Thomas will cover what students and parents will need to know about applying, gaining, and using accommodations in higher education. Not only do the changes in the law play an important role in how accommodations are acquired, but the role of the student and their interaction with college staff is equally, if not more, vital in this process. While CLC is discussed, the information from this session can be used throughout the country, and is applicable regardless of the college you choose!
