Dear Parents,

As the parents of a child with an IEP your child can get post-high school help from the California Department of Rehabilitation with college expenses or with career training. Now is the time to apply for Department of Rehabilitation services if you think you might need financial help for your child’s college program.  You can apply for services starting at the age of 16 but they will not receive any help until they graduate.

Below is the web site for the California Department of Rehab.  You can apply online or print out a form and mail it in.  You will have to help your child get to intake appointments and assessment appointments.
