Virtual Postsecondary Week Career and Transition Services Presentations
During FCPS’ Virtual Postsecondary Week Career and Transition Services will offer the following presentations for students with disabilities.
College Success for Students with Disabilities
This session will help participants understand their student’s rights and responsibilities and the process and resources available to help their child transition to college. Students that recognize their talents and strengths, learn self-advocacy skills, know how to access accommodations and support in college and embrace new challenges as they transition from high school to college are much better equipped to succeed in postsecondary school.
Attend the session via Zoom on Tuesday, October 18, 2022, at 7:00 p.m.
