1. Preparation for Postsecondary Education Opportunities (continued)

• The Board of Regents (continued):
  - Families of students with disabilities are involved and engaged in the process of assessment, career and educational counseling, keeping in mind that student independence and choice become a central issue for students as they move through postsecondary education.
  - Guidelines aimed at transition to college are developed and made available in middle and high school to all students with disabilities. The guidelines are also available to adults who wish to continue their education beyond high school. These guidelines reinforce the message that "accommodation" in an educational setting does not mean that academic standards are lowered.


• Postsecondary education institutions actively recruit students with disabilities. Such a proactive approach includes specially designed transition programs available on campus for students on how to succeed in a higher education setting. This approach includes bridge programs that would allow students with disabilities, starting as early as middle school, to visit college campuses and involve themselves in postsecondary curriculum opportunities.
