Transitioning from high school to college is challenging for any family—but for those with a student on an Individualized Education Program (IEP), the change can be especially confusing. In K–12, students receive structured, legally mandated supports through their IEP. Once they reach college, however, that system disappears. Colleges don’t offer IEPs—instead, students must advocate for themselves to receive accommodations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The responsibility shifts dramatically, and many families find themselves unprepared for what comes next. Understanding what support is available, how to access it, and what rights students have can be overwhelming. We can help guide you.

We specialize in helping families with students with learning differences and disabilities make a smooth transition to college. Our comprehensive services include:

• Finding the Right College: We assess student needs, strengths, and goals to identify colleges that offer the right academic environment and correct levels of support.
  
  

• Admissions Assistance: From choosing schools to completing applications and essays, we guide families through every step of the admissions process.
  
  

• Scholarship Search: We help identify and apply for scholarships, including not only those specifically for students with disabilities but also those that apply to the student's specific interests and accomplishments.
  
  

• Coordinating Accommodations: We work directly with college accessibility offices and college personnel to ensure students receive the accommodations they need—such as extended time, note-taking support, housing modifications, and more.
  
  

Our goal is to empower families and students while ensuring no important detail is overlooked.

This is an exciting time filled with possibilities—but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and countless questions, especially for families of students with special education needs. You may be asking: “Will my child get the support they need? How do we even begin this process?” That’s where we come in. With the right guidance, this transition doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. We're here to help families feel confident, supported, and informed every step of the way—so your student can thrive in college and beyond.
