Registering for support services on a college campus may not be the most important thing that a student starting college wants to consider. Many students are excited to start college with a sense of a new beginning, and they do not want to carry forward the resources they received in high school. This is understandable as students strike out on their own. However, educating students and parents about this is very important to their successful transition to college.
The education that students and parents need to have during this critical time between high school and college involves several factors. One factor is how services are different between high school and college,and the laws governing student support is different. Another factor is educating students about the benefits of registering for support services in college. This article does a great job in delineating the reasons why a student should register with the disability office, even if they believe that it is not necessary at this time. I am hopeful that this information resonates with students and they are able to reach out for the resources that can benefit them in college.
