Special Education – Support Documents for Parents/Guardians/Caregivers

If you have an IEP and you are looking to access accommodations at post secondary school (University or College):

• Contact the Accessibility Services Office at the College or University you have been accepted to as soon as possible to set up a meeting with an accessibility counselor.

• Use this link to get info about your school’s Accessibility Services Department:Transition Resource Guide for Students with Disabilities

• Find out what documentation is needed to access accommodations at the post-secondary institution you have been accepted to

• Your IEP or other documentation (eg. Psychological Assessment) will NOT automatically transfer to a Post Secondary institution

• You will need to supply all documentation to the post secondary school (we can help with this if needed).  For example, you will need to send a copy of your IEP and any supporting medical psychological supporting documentation.
