The transition to college is a challenge for any student.  For students with disabilities who need accommodations to access services and programs, the process can be even more challenging.

Will I Say YES to College?

• "What type of college best serves my needs and interests?"
  
• "What do colleges offer in the way of assistance?"
  
• "What accommodations and services do I need to be successful in college?"
  
• "How do I access these accommodations and services?"
  

Say YES to College will increase students' knowledge of accommodations, assistive technology, self-determination skills, and other tips for college success.  The program is open to rising high school juniors, seniors, and college freshmen who are pursuing a Standards of Learning (SOL) diploma and reside in Superintendents' Regions 2 and 3 in Virginia.  You do not have to be planning to attend a college in Virginia to participate.

• Participate in workshops covering topics such as self-determination, assistive technology, and tips for transitioning to college successfully.
  
• Interact with college students who also happen to have disabilities.
  
• Spend two days on a college campus.
  
• Interact with college bound peers.
