JH said Amazing Resource Guide!!!. As a pediatric physical therapist I have met many jr and high school students who have a disability and who are looking forward to going to college and finding their 'dream job'.

This book is about empowering you to make informed decisions about your college experience and career.Whether you are in middle school wondering about high school and driving, a college student, a new college grad hunting for a job, a parent, healthcare professional or educator looking to support a student who
