高中和大学的区别
从高中到大学的过渡带来了成长的机会和挑战。 For students with disabilities, this includes learning to manage his/her disability accommodations, which can be very different from his/her experience in high school. The chart below is a general guideline for understanding the difference between high school and college accommodations.
| 高中 | 大学 |
|---|---|
| 学区负责评估和记录学生的残疾情况 | 学生有责任获得残疾评估文件 |
| 免费残疾评估 | 学生有责任支付并获得评价 |
| 地区发展个别教育计划（IEP） | 学生确定住宿需求 |
| The school automatically incorporates accommodations into the student's daily schedule once a disability is documented | 学生必须每学期申请住宿 |
| 父母为他们的孩子辩护 | 学生是他们自己的拥护者 |
| 父母会被通知，任何关于他们孩子的决定都必须得到许可 | 父母 are not notified unless the student grants permission for that information to be released |
| 根据IEP规定，允许对学习计划进行基本修改 | The accommodations may not alter the fundamental nature of course or impose an undue burden on an institution |

为大学做准备
父母, counselors, teachers and students with disabilities may use this list as a reminder of helpful skills and necessary steps to take as a high school student with a disability, particularly a learning disability moves toward college.
- 确保所有心理测试都是最新的。 Most colleges and universities require this testing be no more than three years old.
- 高中毕业前取得所有专项测试记录。 Some school systems destroy these records upon the student's graduation. 大学s, as well as vocational rehabilitation offices, request these records to assist in providing special services to students.
- 确保学生掌握足够的学习技巧。 In addition to high school assistance, consider special study skills classes/programs offered at community colleges, private agencies, or individual tutoring.
- Consult with the high school to get a good understanding of how much support or special help the student is receiving.
- 帮助学生提高独立生活能力。 Help them learn to manage their own checking accounts, do their own laundry, cleaning, some cooking, etc.
- 鼓励兼职或志愿者工作。 These are helpful to improve socialization skills as well as to give a better understanding of work situations and expectations and responsibility.
- 确保学生对他们的特殊残疾有很好的了解。 They should know and be able to articulate their strengths and weaknesses as well as what compensating techniques and accommodations work best for them.
- Help students understand how their disabilities are connected to social experiences with peers, families, and employers. A visual or auditory discrimination deficit, and/or an attention deficit disorder frequently lead to missed cues and inappropriate timing in conversation.
- 鼓励学生成为他们自己的拥护者。 A good first step is to encourage them to discuss their disabilities and needed accommodations, if any, with their regular high school instructors.
- 了解1973年康复法案第504条。 This law indicates what types of accommodations must be provided and/or allowed at post secondary institutions if a student requests them. The responsibility is on the individual to initiate the provision of services and accommodations (unlike the requirements of I.D.E.A., which puts the responsibility on elementary, and secondary schools).
- 获取SAT和/或ACT的特殊考试安排信息。 Options include extended time or readers.
- 在做出明确的选择之前，尽量去参观一所大学，并考虑他们的位置。
- 确保学生最近做过视力和听力评估。 Only a qualified specialist should administer such evaluations.
- 鼓励学生在组织中拥有自己的会员资格。 Newsletters for LDA, Orton Dyslexia Society, among others, can help keep them informed about new resources and special programs.
- 确保上大学是学生的选择。 The most successful college students are those who have high motivation and a good understanding of their particular strengths and weaknesses. They understand that it may be harder and take more time to manage college level work. They are committed to spend that extra time studying, and to request and use appropriate accommodations when needed.
