The US National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities will hold a symposium focused on the transitino for high school to post-secondary education. It is slated to be held on line on Monday 12 September 2022, beginning at 11 AM EDT.

The National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities (NJCLD) affirms the importance of transition as a critical component of successfully progressing from secondary school to college or university for students with learning disabilities. Although NJCLD has addressed secondary to postsecondary education transition planning in a previous paper (NJCLD, 1994), several challenges remain. This paper includes information about the laws that affect students with learning disabilities at each level, documentation required, key participants, and programs and resources to assist in the transition process.

• Download the full paper,”Considerations for Transition from High School to Postsecondary Education”; it is available for free.

NJCLD is a long-standing advocacy organization composed of representatives from other organizations with interests in learning disabilities. It includes not just organizations that have a core interest in LD, but also others that over have interests that overlap with LD (e.g., psychology, speech-language).
