Transcription: 
A good resource for children as they set out for college who have special needs is a disability services office at whatever college or university that your child is attending. Once they are out of highschool, they are considered an adult and must speak up for their own needs. So they must go to their college, university, check out what´s available, what accomodations could be made. Some of the accomodations that could be made are notetaking, extra time on tests, taperecording but the student needs to check out exactly what´s available at that office to make sure that they are getting all the extra help that they need in college to access the curriculum just like they got in early education.
