Legal Shift in Roles and Responsibilities
IEP College Prep's goal is to help high school students with disabilities earn a college degree. Our team of experts, with over 15 years of professional experience in a leading research institution, is ready to guide you through the complexities of the IDEA (Individuals with Disability Education Act) and ADA (Americans with Disability Act). Let us help you navigate the shift in student, parent, and school roles and responsibilities.
It is important to note that the legal responsibilities for students with disabilities change significantly when they transition from high school to college. In high school, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) governs the support that is provided to students with disabilities, with the responsibility being largely on the school to ensure the success of the student. However, in college, the protection is provided by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which only ensures that students have access to the college environment rather than guaranteeing their success.

Confidential laws are also activated when a student enters college, which means that parents need to take a backseat while their students advocate for their needs. These laws constantly change and impact the responsibilities of schools, students, and parents related to the student's disabilities. I stay current with all disability-related laws and can help parents and students prepare for and navigate their new roles as they relate to the laws in higher education.
