Ready to Thrive: Preparing Students with Physical Disabilities and Health Conditions for the College Transition: A Conversation with Annie Tulkin

Dr. Johanna Tramantano interviews Annie Tulkin, CEO and founder of Accessible College, about college preparation and transition for students with physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and chronic health conditions, often with co-occurring diagnoses. They emphasize student self-advocacy, researching disability office staffing and mission statements, and setting accommodations up early because they are not retroactive and require active student management (e.g., reserving exam accommodations in advance). Tulkin describes helping families plan logistics like medication refills, insurance, and infusions, recommends starting by junior/senior year, and encourages educators to seek specialized resources when needed. Annie Tulkin is the CEO and Founder of <a href="http://www.accessiblecollege.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Accessible College</a>, as well as an educator, author, and public speaker.
