This monograph considers aspects of the visually impaired student's transition from high school to college and his successful adjustment at college, reports on a forum of experts addressing these issues, and summarizes results of surveys of successful students and college administrators. The first chapter is on making plans to attend college and covers such suggestions as beginning early, preparing both socially and academically, and dealing with admissions testing. Classroom accommodations are covered in the second chapter, including testing accommodations, computers, science laboratories, and transition programs and resources. The discussion of the research forum identifies information helpful to know before college, guidelines of rehabilitation agencies, and research suggestions. The report of the survey focuses on development of two survey instruments to identify, from the points of view of 102 successful students and 66 administrators, the skills, knowledge, and needed steps required of students with visual impairments. Highlights of the student survey address educational environments, college demographics, reading methods, work history, extracurricular activities, mobility, services and equipment, college preparation, and problems while attending college. Highlights of the college administrator survey cover time spent on special needs, admission standards, effect of the Americans with Disabilities Act, services provided by colleges, students' use of services, and source of payment for services. A qualitative analysis of survey responses and a summary complete the monograph. (Contains 80 references.) (DB)
