Ep 134 Understanding College Disability Documentation: A Parent’s Guide

In this episode of After the IEP, we break down one of the most critical—yet misunderstood—parts of the college transition: college disability documentation. If your student had an IEP or 504 Plan in high school, you’ll learn why that’s not enough for college and what documentation colleges actually require.

This is Week 4 of our 12-week College Transition Guide for Students with Disabilities, and it’s a big one. Without the right documentation, your student may not get the accommodations they need to thrive.

We cover:

• Why IEPs don’t meet college documentation standards

• What colleges are legally allowed to ask for

• How to prepare and avoid documentation delays

• When to request new evaluations (and why)
