Parents

Parents play a vital role in helping their children prepare for college, especially when the student has a disability. Being involved doesn’t mean doing everything for them – it means encouraging independence while offering guidance and support. You can help by talking openly about their strengths and challenges, supporting them in using assistive tools, and helping them practice study or life skills at home. Most importantly, listening to their concerns and celebrating their small wins will build their confidence for the big transition ahead.

Every student’s journey is unique, and as a parent you may have questions about how best to support your child in academics, life skills, or accessing accommodations. If you have a query, big or small, we encourage you to reach out. Simply click “Ask here” to share your question with our team of experts, and we will get back to you with guidance and resources that can help.

Soon, you’ll find guides on navigating disability rights in India, tips for supporting your child’s independence, and advice from other parents whose children have gone through the transition to college. Stay tuned – new materials and practical toolkits are on the way to make your journey as a parent easier and more informed.
