www.going-to-college.org/overview/index.html Going to College Interactive Website. What's in it for you? This Web site contains information about college life with a disability. It is designed for high school students and provides video clips with transcripts, activities and additional resources that can help you get a head start in planning for college. Through several interviews, college students with disabilities from across Virginia provided key information for the site. These video clips offer a way for you to hear (or read the transcript) first hand from students with disabilities who have been successful. Each module includes several activities that will help you to explore more about yourself, learn what to expect from college and equip you with important considerations and tasks to complete when planning for college. Share these with your parents, teachers, and guidance counselor - you might just teach them a thing or two.
