[nabs-l] IEP meeting in senior year of high school

[wmodnl wmodnl]

It is all a formality for the school to properly close you out of the system.  Good luck.

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

>> I  am currently a high school senior, and just found out that I'll be having my next (and therefore last) IEP meeting next month.  I have no idea why I'm  having the meeting, since I'm graduating from high school next month, and therefore won't have an IEP afterwords.
>> So what I'd like to know is, have any of you guys had your last IEP meeting your senior year of high school, rather than your junior year? If so, what kinds of things did you discuss? Accommodations for college? What you'd be doing after high school? I imagine that you wouldn't be talking about accommodations for the next schoolyear, since you obviously won't be in school, and that's what an IEP meeting is for, to talk about future accommodations in school, right?

>> I hope you can answer these questions and help solve this confusion, because I originally thought that my last meeting would be in my junior year of high school, not my senior year since after that I'll be going to college, and therefore will not have an IEP for that.

>> Looking forward to hearing from you, and good luck with studying and taking your exams!
