Abstract: This brochure provides college preparation suggestions for students with visual impairments in junior and senior high school. Each section includes a checklist of activities to be accomplished during a given grade in preparation for college. The 11th grade and 12th grade sections have a month-to-month guide. Recommended activities include: exploring different careers; participating in extracurricular activities, clubs, and organizations; taking a part-time or summer job or performing volunteer work; planning on how to pay for college; learning how to use different communication aids; discussing options with school guidance counselors, vocational rehabilitation counselors, and others; contacting colleges to learn about available student support services; taking standardized admission tests; and applying for admission. The guide also discusses the problems students with visual impairments face when attending colleges, including: (1) managing their time; (2) accessing written materials; (3) having enough money; (4) handling difficult classes; and (5) arranging for transportation. Also listed are suggestions offered by college students with visual impairments, focusing on: preregistering for classes; communicating with professors; locating transportation; ordering textbooks early; and making housing arrangements. A list of relevant resource organizations and materials is provided. (CR)
