ABSTRACT
This list has been prepared as a reference for students with
disabilities who are looking for ways to prepare for college and enhance
college performance. Campus disability support providers report that students
who receive some preview of the college experience can manage the first year
with fewer adjustment problems than others. Colleges not listed may have
summer programs for students who have been admitted to that college, or may
hold summer programs as a precondition of acceptance into the general
academic program. Twelve programs are described.
