There is a wealth of internet resources for families of children with disabilities. The numbers decrease when the subject turns to transition to adulthood. When children with disabilities reach adolescence, questions about post-secondary education, employment opportunities and independent living arise. The sites on this page address some of these issues.
Directed toward educational professionals, this site is valuable to families chiefly for its "Links" page, which includes, among other things, links to various college disability services offices.
HEATH Resource Center is a national clearinghouse of information on post-secondary education for individuals with disabilities. The site features articles, HEATH's publications, FAQs and an excellent "Links" page.
LD Online's special section on Postsecondary Education contains valuable publications and links to resources for students with learning disabilities who are moving on to college or university.
This is the site to visit for information about transition. NCSET offers publications and links to resources on the subject. The Site Tour is a helpful starting place.
This website provides guidance and information for students considering post-secondary education. It includes resources for families and professionals, as well.
Transition Link is a helpful resource for those seeking information about transition issues. Among its features are a list of resources and the opportunity to download articles from a variety of sources.
