Empowerment Requires Self-Advocacy
High school educators manage the identification and support for students with disabilities, including testing and plan development. In college, however, responsibility shifts to the student, who must self-identify their disability and engage with the Disability Services Office. Students must provide documentation, such as assessments from high school or existing 504 plans, as part of the support process. This transition underlines the importance of self-advocacy and personal responsibility in navigating higher education.
