Helping Students with Disabilities Transition to College: 21 Tips for Students with LD and/or ADD/ADHD
Connor, David J.
TEACHING Exceptional Children, v44 n5 p16-25 May-Jun 2012
Making the transition from high school to college poses challenges for most students. Moving from a secure, regulated world of secondary education into an unfamiliar environment requiring greater independence can be a destabilizing experience. For students with learning disabilities (LD) and/or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), managing this change can make them feel more anxious and overwhelmed than their non-disabled counterparts. The twenty tips featured in this article are intended for counselors, teachers, and parents to share with high school students with LD and/or ADD before they transition into college. Once there, students with LD and/or ADD will be expected to be autonomous in their decision-making. By previewing these strategies, teachers and parents can increase student awareness of situations they will encounter, help them play an active role in making important decisions, and generally guide them toward a greater chance of success.
