Clemson University supports one of the first post secondary programs for students with disabilities in the country. There currently are over 200 similar programs across the country and in this episode we use Clemson Life as a framework to give families and IEP teams a vision of a post secondary college program so they can begin considering necessary requirements to qualify for programs such as Clemson Life and thus begin working toward goals in the middle school and high school years. There are 3 parts to today’s conversation. First we learn about the Clemson Life program. Second we will learn what goals should be going into the 3 federally mandated sections of the IEP Transition Plan to set students up for success in post secondary college programs. We will conclude the conversation looking at the four belief statements of the Clemson Life program and how they are applicable regardless if college is an option for our student.
