In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Elizabeth Hamblet, a leading expert in college disability services, about what families often don’t realize when it comes to accommodations in college. We unpack how support systems shift after high school, which accommodations students can and can’t expect, and how to help your student build the self-advocacy and independence they’ll need to thrive. Whether your student has a 504 plan, an IEP, or simply needs extra support, this episode is full of practical guidance and honest insight you won’t want to miss.BioElizabeth C.
