The learning disabilities consultant, Elizabeth C. Hamblet interviewed disability services directors at a variety of kinds of institutions, including state, art, community, and highly-selective colleges for her book, From High School to College: Steps to Success for Students With Disabilities.
A question Elizabeth is often asked by the students and families she works with is, “What accommodations are commonly approved in college?“ In her interviews, Elizabeth learned that accommodations are fairly standard across different types of schools.

In the interviews, directors also talked about the kinds of accommodations that schools don’t typically grant. It’s worth noting that the kinds of accommodation not commonly granted are also similar across institution types.

Hamblet notes that it is important to know there are accommodations that a student may receive in high school, that aren’t typically granted in college. It is helpful to know about these differences so students’ IEPs and transition plans include the development of critical skills students will need to be successful in the absence of certain accommodations.
