ONLINE VIDEO: Navigating the College Landscape: Preparing High School Students With Attention Differences For The Transition
Navigating the college process can be overwhelming for most students, but it’s a particularly daunting challenge for those with learning and attention disorders. Bottom line? There is no test for your student to take to score college readiness. And if you need more proof? According to the NCES (2020), 72% of post-secondary students with a disability drop out of college. Staggering, right?
I feel your worry and concern. I vividly remember watching my son navigate the transition from high school to college and all the responsibilities that came with it. A wise man once told me that college is 70% life skills and 30% study skills, and it’s that 70% that sets you up for success in both learning and in life. To this day, I believe that to be true.
Academic skills are super important; don’t get me wrong. But in my experience, they are more easily learned than life skills. As an Academic/Life coach for college students with ADHD and LD, I’ve seen my coaching students learn effective study skills. However, in my experience, day-to-day success tends to flow most from the life skills I help my students establish.

What People Are Saying...
"My daughter started weeping at 10PM on a Sunday night and I used your "parade of miserables" idea to calm her down and walk her backward through the issue (and through many twists and turns) until I got to the crux of the matter. In the past, I would’ve been completely flummoxed and instead, I was empowered with the right tool to be there to support her. Thank you again for all that you do!" -- Sherri R.
