Learning Ally's College Success Program - Parent/Guardian Survey
Thank you for taking our survey! Your responses will help Learning Ally better understand the needs of high school students who are blind or visually impaired and who will be transitioning to college and employment. Please fill out this survey only if you have a transition-age child (ages 14-22) who is blind or visually impaired. Your responses will be kept confidential. However, we do ask for your contact information in case we need to reach out with any questions.
