Conclusion: Off to see the Wizard
This handbook is directed primarily toward parents of students with disabilities. However, we hope that it is equally useful to high school teachers, counselors, and students themselves. It introduces some of the legal and philosophical changes that occur for students with disabilities upon graduation from high school and entrance into The University of Montana. It is best used in conjunction with Expect Access.
