INFORMATION FOR GRADUATING STUDENTS WHO HAVE AN IEP

If you are graduating and planning to attend a post-secondary institution (college or university), then you should make an appointment with the accessibility services department of your chosen institution now!  When you go to the appointment, you should take:

– your current IEP

-any psychology, medical, or occupational therapy reports that you might have

-any other documentation that supports your need for accommodations

-if you require a private dorm room in order to focus on your work, then you should get your doctor or psychologist to write you a letter saying that because of your learning disability, you need a private room in order to best access your curriculum

At the appointment, they will look at all of your information, and inform you of next steps to obtain accommodations with them.  If they want further testing, they will let you know what they want.  If you qualify for OSAP, then the testing may be covered.  They will let you know the procedures that you will need to follow next year.  You should not leave this until the fall – the onus will be on you to self-advocate.

If you have any questions, or would like to get a copy of your IEP with a note added about which accommodations you used in high school, please see Mrs. Graydon in room 210 on Monday June 8 between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
