[quote=Anonymous]Community College as noted let's one see how one might be able to get the further education one needs for a job/ career in as flexible a way as possible.  Not every one is suited to a 4 year program.  It is a reasonable way to see what the level of support needs are.  It is certainly the way to go if one has a definite weak subject area, but otherwise does well so if say a math or science sequence is going to be required in an overall four year college program, but will not be the focus area of one's career goals, get it out of the way at a cc.  For some it might mean just a course or two to get through it or a grade to transfer.  
For others a blend of working or volunteering and college classes might be best way to start.  If a disability is severe enough in terms of handling pressure, executive functioning etc. a reduced course load might alway be the way to go.
Finally, while the idea is often how a cc can be a starting point in college education, remember it can also be the "landing site" for one who flounders in a more traditional setting or even graduates, but is unable to find a job.  In tiday's world, it will come down to a job if not a career, and there is no one right way to get there.
