Troy researched the entrance requirements for the two-year community college program and discovered the college had a student-for-a-day program. Working with the guidance counsellor and a representative from the local learning disability organization, Troy and his transition team developed the following plan:
1. Troy will visit the college open house and register for the student-for-a-day program to see what a typical day would be like if he were a college student
2. The educational aid will make an appointment for Troy to meet with a disability service coordinator at the community college to see what learning supports he will need for college
3. Troy's guidance counsellor knows he will need an up-to-date educational assessment with accommodation recommendations and possible assistive technology to help him with his college courses; his mother and the guidance counsellor will arrange for this assessment
4. Troy and his team will make the decision to enroll in the college program after completing some more research
5. He begins now searching for potential scholarships, bursaries, and grants targeted for students with disabilities
