Hi, Arielle.

I like your tips. I would also add:

Research skills: Minimally: students should be able to define research 
parameters and direct a reader who can assist them when doing library 
research. Ideally: students should be proficient with scanners, OCR 
software, and use of library databases using Internet access so that they 
can conduct research as independently as possible.

Self-advocacy: Minimally: students should be able to describe the tools they 
use for doing schoolwork and request appropriate accommodations (seating 
near outlet if necessary, etc.) Ideally: students should be able to request 
accommodations and think of alternate strategies for use situations when use 
of their preferred methods is not possible.
