You've likely heard the wrong thing. Too many people don't know & they're misinforming others. This clip comes from a longer Substack live talk between Kelley Challen and me. Watch: https://bit.ly/KESL2 #CollegePrep #LearningDisabilities #ADHD #SpecialEd #SchoolPsychology #iep

I hosted a great discussion between Adrienne Frumberg (Lighthouse Guidance), Dr. Marci Schwartz (Thrive College Consulting) and Annie Tulkin (Accessible College) about students w/mental health and physical/medical disabilities and autism, and college prep and search.

In this chat on Substack with Kelley Challen,we talked about something a student was getting in high school as a disability accommodation that they were unlikely to get in college and why that was the case. Is your student getting the same thing? Watch the whole video: https://bit.ly/KESL2 #EduSky

As a long-time member of the organization, I was delighted to be on the LDA podcast. I discussed with host Lauren Clouser what happens with IEPs and 504 plans once students graduate from high school & how the disability services system works. Listen now: https://bit.ly/LDAp13x #EduSky

Real "Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!" energy (for fellow Python fans). Friends - we'd let her in literally a minute before this tantrum. Kona would say Happy #Caturday but she's too busy yelling at me.

Research shows that some students don't request disability accommodations at college is privacy. In this chat on Substack with Kelley Challen, I explained how student privacy works in the college disability services system. Watch the whole video to see what else we discussed: https://bit.ly/KESL2

If you're looking for someone to test your student for potential learning disabilities or ADHD, be wary of what some of them say and promise. I checked the site of someone who'd done testing I was reviewing for a university's disability services office, and I found they were making some wild claims.

On @collparcentral.bsky.social, Vicki Nelson & I discussed shifts in vocabulary & expectations at college for students w/disabilities specifically, but also for the college population as a whole.  Listen: https://bit.ly/LDAp24 or watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyp-w6bk-kY&t=2s #CollegePrep
