In this Transition Talks workshop, we explore college pathways for young adults with disabilities, discussing the differences between inclusive college programs, accommodations students and families should consider now, and steps students can take to move toward college success. We also discussed how Executive Functioning, Resilience and Anxiety come into play when planning for college.
