- Do this well before school starts - the earlier the better (April, May, June, July is best). Keep in mind that technology training dates may be scheduled for you during the months of July/August; this way you can learn the technology before school starts.
What documentation should I bring to the intake interview?
Bring written documentation of your disability such as:
- An Individual Education Plan (IEP) or special education recommendations, psychological and educational assessment reports, or notes from a medical practitioner.
