Join us on campus for one of our upcoming Open House event on Sept. 26! We invite you to experience the personalized support, vibrant campus life, and academic excellence that make Beacon College the ideal choice for students with learning differences.
Beacon College’s Center for College Readiness draws on our successful 35-year history of working exclusively with students who learn differently through seven unique programs for students and families through hands-on learning and one-to-one coaching.
Intellectual challenge is at the heart of a Beacon education. We take this very seriously, but we are also very practical about it. Our 10 bachelor’s degree programs are intended to prepare our students to find worthy work in today’s global marketplace. Additionally, we encourage students to explore their diverse interests through one or more of our 17 minors.
“Pursuing the life abundant” is the pervading theme that infuses everything we do at Beacon College. It’s something we take very seriously indeed.
At Beacon, you’ll be able to be the most that you can be. Both within the classroom and far beyond it, we nurture a vivacious learning laboratory that calls upon you to seek and cherish all of life’s richness.
From IDEA to ADA – Accommodations, Parent Communication, & Other Policies for College Students
HomeEvents & ResourcesFrom IDEA to ADA – Accommodations, Parent Communication, & Other Policies for College Students
When students leave high school, they depart a system that provides significant built-in holistic support services. As students – and their parents – enter college, they enter a new legal system that shifts methods of accessing support, communication with families, and responsibilities of professionals. These policy changes can be difficult to understand and daunting to initiate.
By focusing on issues related to accessing accommodations, understanding how to utilize those accommodations, dissecting policies including FERPA and HIPAA, and other unspoken policies in college, this session provides a better understanding of how the educational environment changes from high school to university.
