""Life After High School"" provides guidance to assist disabled young people in their efforts to pursue education, independence, and competency in life skills...This book is a useful resource for helping disabled students and their families plan for continuing education after high school. It addresses the specific needs of physical, mental, and learning disabilities, covering how to work with guidance counselors, how and when to take standarized tests, and the specific attributes that a college or university needs to have to help the disabled learner succeed...Perhaps most valuable is the book's overall approach: it addresses the whole person, and not just the disability.
