"What kind of services can I get in College?"
We'll as a college student, I currently get to take tests in a quiet room, and get extended time. If you need these, or other types of assistance, contact the schools office for students with disabilities and talk to them about the types of services they offer. All schools offer some kind, but not all schools have the same types of aid available. Make sure you know what a college is willing to do for you before you decide to go there.

What kind of assistance did you get in High School to help prepare you for college?

That is a great question Diane. Well as far as assistance goes in college, I would attend my own I.E.P meetings and tell my support staff what I thought was helpful and what I thought I needed. I had the option to get notes from teachers or other students however, I often opted to take my own notes in class. I always got extended time on tests, and on some other assignments I had trouble with though this was often after talking to the teacher to see if they would allow extra time on class assignments.
If I wanted to I was allowed to go to the learning center to take my tests, sometimes I found that I did not need extra time or another testing environment but it was always nice to know that it was there should I need it. For FCAT and other standardized tests I got extra time and went to a testing room only for those students who received extra time.
For the SAT's it is possible to get extra time but you should look into it very early because the process may take awhile and it may involve paperwork from your case manager, and it is best to have used extended time in the past in order to get in on future national tests.
The other thing that I found very helpful was a teacher assistant. I have a learning disability in math and so when there was a teacher assistant in my math class she helped to demonstrate concepts to me on a one on one basis and I was even able to stay after with her sometimes and work on homework. I found these things very helpful.
anyone else have any more questions or examples of ways their support education has helped them?

How did your accommodations change from Middle to High School?
It was actually not THAT much different. Except for the fact that in high school they expect more self reliance, and responsibility-as they should. In middle school my parents were an active part in enforcing my IEP, but in High school the task fell more toward me. So the accommodations did not change much....just the fact that I know how to be on top of making sure I got the services and assistance I needed.
