EPISODE 40: What happens after high school? Start that conversation early - documentation, campus contacts, and simple routines to practice now
Expectations may vary. Some students on the spectrum find that community college is a good next step. Many want to take a gap year, get some work experience or travel. Others are eager to head off to a four year college. Neurodivergent neurodiversity education advocate Amanda Morin says the time to start talking about post- high school transition planning is early. Because what a student wants and expects to do after high school may not be aligned with parents' expectations, and that means talking it through. Morin also says it's important to remember there are no IEPs in college, and after turning 18, the student legally becomes their own advocate. Insights and strategies for setting off on the road ahead.
