Spring is Here!
Well, maybe not in reality, but the calendar says it is. And with spring comes beautiful new flowers, a good bit of rain, and for those who have high school juniors and seniors, thoughts of further and higher education.
In this edition of CeDIR Citings, we focus on postsecondary education for those who have disabilities. We have included both library materials that can be checked out and websites on the topic.

Book Review for:
The parent's Guide to College for Students on the Autism Spectrum
Jane Thierfeld Brown, EdD,
Lorraine E. Wolf, PhD,
Lisa King, MEd, and
G. Ruth Kukiela Bork, MEd
“College can be a big, scary place for a lot of young adults, but for those who are on the spectrum or have another disability, going to college can be close to impossible. Accommodations that they had in high school might not be readily available in college, not to mention the sensory, social skills, and communication issues that can pop up. With this book, however, parents can take charge and learn ahead of time how to prepare their son or daughter for these eventualities and more.
