Many high school students with disabilities, including those with deaf-blindness, continue their education in postsecondary schools including vocational and career schools, 2 and 4 year colleges, and universities. While a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) is guaranteed through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), once a student graduates from high school public funding is not guaranteed. Some students may be eligible for support from vocational rehabilitation agencies.
