In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Hamblet, a nationally recognized expert on the transition to college for students with disabilities.
With more than two decades of experience working in college disability services offices, Elizabeth shares what really changes after high school and why so many students arrive on campus with expectations that simply don’t match reality.
We talk about the biggest misconceptions around accommodations, why IEPs and 504 plans don’t transfer, and how well intentioned supports in K–12 can sometimes make independence harder.
This conversation is a must listen for school psychs, special ed teachers, and transition teams who want to better prepare students for what college actually requires.
