This 90-minute audio conference, hosted by disability expert Scott Lissner, gives you ready-to-use strategies to assess incoming evaluative data so you can make reasonable accommodation decisions. You also learn the implications of IDEA's reauthorization standards so you can explain them to other administrators, faculty members, and students with disabilities and their parents.

Plus, you'll get practical guidance on how to use:

• Structured interviews and questionnaires to help clarify students' accommodation needs
• The new Summary of Performance requirement to enhance your understanding of students' needs
• Models developed by high school personnel to capture critical information when conducting observational evaluations
• Research-based interventions to become part of documentation policies in higher education

You’ll also explore changes in:

• Evaluation and reevaluation requirements for high school students with disabilities
• Documentation requirements that will significantly impact disability service providers working with students transitioning from high school to college
• IDEA's requirements for determining whether students have specific learning disabilities
• Resources and parameters shaping transition and how to improve the transition process
• The National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard for alternate formats for print material that will impact student and publisher expectations for alternative media.
