Abstract

A model to improve access to college especially for students with disabilities includes these steps: (1) establishing an interagency support team; (2) orienting students and parents; (3) facilitating person-centered planning; (4) creating and implementing an array of services and supports; and (5) evaluating effectiveness. Barriers such as resistance, inadequate preparation, and communication problems are addressed. (Contains 26 references.) (SK)
