Collaboration with Independent Educational Consultants
I aim to ensure students are prepared for college as it relates to their disability, while allowing IECs to focus on the college admissions process. My goal is to share the knowledge I gained as the director of a Disability Services Office at a mid-size university, and first-hand experience as a student who received accommodations, with IECs and their students.
