Special Education in college

More and more students with disabilities are thinking about wanting to go to college after High School. For someone with disabilities they have to know their rights and responsibilities of being a college student. There are opportunities and services for students with disabilities that they have to check out so they can succeed. At Salem State there is disability service as well as Trio, peer tutoring, and the writing center.

 

 

 

 

Everyone should have the opportunity to go to college no matter what the disability. All students with a disability are different from high functioning to low functioning. Back when I was in High School at Worcester Tech the students don't choose what college they want to go in. Instead the school sends them to a special Ed program in assumption until they turn 23 then they are done with the program. That is wrong. All students should be able to choose what college they want to go to and the major they want to study in.  I got into this school because I have an IEP and when I send that in I was exempt from my SAT's. I didn't like my score and that's why it was better to just send my IEP.
