In this Grab and Go Practices, we offer suggestions for instructing students to use apps, software applications, smartphones, and other technology tools in typical college experiences. We discuss how these tools can help with mobility, following schedules, academic support, communication, social connections, and personal management. A checklist for educational coaches is included.
This Grab and Go Fact Sheet summarizes best practices for coaches and mentors who support dually enrolled students with intellectual disabilities and autism on college campuses. Students who receive transition services and attend college have many opportunities throughout the day to develop and use life skills. In fact, the more students stay on campus, the more opportunities they have to use these skills in natural contexts and with natural cues. Sometimes, IEP teams are tempted to address learning goals in high school settings where these skills were traditionally taught.
