How can parents and teachers help students with disabilities prepare for postsecondary education?

家长和中学老师将不再对他们的学生在中学后接受的住宿有发言权.  高等院校的学生被当作成年人对待,他们应该自己做决定.  In some cases, disability services may keep students’ information confidential from parents.  因此, 重要的是,家长和老师帮助他们的学生准备好承担更大的责任,这将要求他们. 他们可以向学生提供有关残疾的信息,以及他们在中学后教育中需要的各种支持. 家长和老师也可以通过教导和加强自我决定来帮助学生做好准备, 维护自己的权利, and career development skills, 通过促进内部控制点(责任感和对自己未来的控制). They can also help students explore the issues outlined in this document.

What are students’ rights in post-secondary schools?

在中学, 残疾学生有权接受免费和适当的公共教育. However, in post-secondary education, IDEA no longer applies. 《欧洲杯押注网页》和《欧洲杯押注》第504节介绍了涵盖残疾学生中学后教育经历的民权法律.

根据这些法则, 残疾学生有平等参加教育项目和相关活动的权利, and to reasonable accommodations. The definition for reasonable accommodations is, 然而, 模糊的, and sometimes determined in the courts. What students need to know is that by law, 高等教育机构必须提供合理的便利,以帮助学生充分参与他们的教育经历. 重要的是要记住,IDEA在中学所要求的个性化教育与民权法在高等学校所要求的“接触”之间的区别. Post-secondary schools are not required to redesign their programs, but to give accommodations that increase access to already existing programs.

FERPA 101

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) also known as the Buckley Amendment, helps protect the privacy of student records. 在FERPA, eligible students have the right to inspect and review their education records; seek amendment of any records believed to be inaccurate; consent to disclosure of education records except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent; and to file a complaint with FPCO concerning potential violations. FERPA applies to students who are currently (or formerly) enrolled in higher education, regardless of age or status. 大峡谷大学为所有学生提供个人或通过大学网站访问其记录的全部权限. FERPA将大学生视为成年人,负责决定谁可以收到有关他们的信息. While guardians/parents understandably have an interest in a student’s academic progress, 没有学生的书面同意,他们不会自动获得访问学生记录的权限. 学生可以使用myBanner中的Guardian/Family access选项卡查看他们的在线记录. Guardians/Parents are encouraged to consult with the student if academic information is needed.

那么家长该怎么做呢?

The post-secondary years provide students with both new freedoms and new responsibilities. 许多学生都是第一次离家生活,或者是第一次自己做个人决定. Parents are naturally concerned about the safety, 健康, and social adjustment of their sons and daughters. Disability-related issues can make this an even more challenging time for students and parents. However, there is help available.

Materials for parents of college students, such as the previously mentioned book by Helen E. 约翰逊和克里斯汀·舍尔哈斯-米勒的作品,可以在当地书店和图书馆的书架上找到. Several Web sites have also been created for the parents of college students. Many colleges and universities, for example, provide tips for parents on their Web sites. 不幸的是, 这些资源并不能解决残疾学生及其家庭所面临的许多独特挑战.

Information developed specifically for the parents of high school students with disabilities, 另一方面, does not cover parenting issues during the college years. 这些材料通常试图帮助父母为青少年过渡到高等教育做好准备,
find financial aid, and learn about the ADA and Section 504. The benefits of family support may be mentioned, but what this support looks like at the post-secondary level is not described. 事实上, 在最近的过渡文献中,对过度保护的养育和习得性无助的强调给了一些父母和教育者一个错误的印象,即父母的参与在中学后是完全不受欢迎的.

Although not widely available, 最近的一些研究证实了父母在中学后提供的支持的价值,并表明父母的积极参与可以培养孩子, 而不是阻碍, 民族自决. Additional studies and research-based guidance
在这些问题上,需要帮助父母有效地支持他们的残疾子女在中学后的学习.


FAQ Regarding Academic Matters:
