IEPs and 504 plans don’t follow students to college.
Families have to provide recent neuropsych evaluations when the student enrolls. The college has to approve it and tell the student which accommodations they’ll allow. Then it’s up to the student to follow up with Students services to make sure they generate a Letter of Accommodations every semester which they have to forward to each of their professors. Every time they change courses at the beginning of the semester they have to sign another release form and get a new Letter of Accommodations that lists the current class schedule. It’s a time consuming process. Then the student has to remind each professor about the accommodations several days before every test. It can be a drastic change from high school, so it’s important that the college a student attends has a good Student Services department and responsive faculty.
Totally agree with what you are saying. All the colleges we inquire this about seemed to have solid plans if this was needed in college. All were more then willing to accommodate almost any request. It wasn’t used at all but I do guess some schools make you jump through hoops so good points.
