​

Dr. Lalor’s Conference Session is entitled College Transition: Finding and Accessing the Services that "Fit" 

​

For students with disabilities, it is critical that that disability and universally-available support services are considered during the college transition process. Research has shown that accessing such services predicts persistence and graduation. Join Dr. Adam Lalor, a former disability services professional and admission officer, for a presentation about searching for and accessing disability and non-disability services in college that will fit your specific needs. Q&A will follow.
