High school and college are very different. Things change like where you will go to class, where you will live, what you are responsible for, and so many other things. But just like in high school, it is important for you to practice your self-advocacy skills in college especially once you turn 18.

Your child’s (young adult’s) Individualized Education Program (IEP) is like a roadmap for planning their life after high school. It shows where the student wants to be and how they are going to get there. The earlier students are involved in developing their IEP, the better. Participating in the IEP process helps develop self-advocacy skills. They also learn the importance of the IEP. Paying attention to what is in the IEP is part of how students make sure they learn skills in high school that they need to have the life they want after high school.
