Episode 44 - Expert Help for Students with Disabilities and Need Accommodations with Elizabeth Hamblet

Our mission is to close the information gap and support students and families as they prepare for the college admissions process. Sometimes our own resources do not address the needs of everyone, hence why we need help. Since we cannot do this alone, and we’re grateful for educators and allies like disabilities and accommodations expert, Elizabeth Hamblet.   Wondering what happens for students with IEPs or 504 plans at college? Elizabeth offers information for parents and students to learn all about the college accommodations system and how disabilities are handled in the admissions process. She used to be a high school special education teacher and saw the lack of preparation students had for the transition to college. They were unaware of how the system for accommodations changed and for what accommodations weren’t available. A modern day champion for those in need, she authored a book and became a speaker and consultant. The 3rd edition of her book, Seven Steps to College Success: A Pathway for Students with Disabilities, is a regularly used resource that we are honored to endorse.  As a guest on our podcast, we know that the information she shares is timely and critical. Listen and learn!
