Vickey, I think you are on the right track here. The idea is that ALL students may or may not be successful in their pursuits, and what the laws demand is that students with disabilities have the same right to TRY. It is not appropriate for others to decide that the student with a disability shouldn't make this decision or that one. It MAY be appropropriate for others to say, "let's talk about the ramifications of this decision for YOU" (just as you would any other student you were advising). In the end, though, the choice should be theirs. Dr. Jane Jarrow
