Transition Success

[Guest guest]

My name is Joan Azarva, and I am a college Learning Specialist with 35years of experience with LD; I am also the parent of an adult son withLD/ADD who graduated college successfully. Thus, I have twoperspectives on being in the trenches!

At work I saw far too many capable students fail because theywere ill-prepared for the unique challenges of college. They compoundedthat with navigational errors. I am only one person and was delugedwith students to the point I was ineffectual –in 2006, I resigned. However, I still have a mission to increase the college success rate(just about 16%) for these students!Determined to help students PRO-actively, I started an e-list thatdistributes articles to help parents set their kids up for postsecondarysuccess. Subscribers to my list receive at least 2 very high-qualityarticles per week; I am very discriminating because I know what I wouldhave wanted when I was in your shoes.I also wrote a class, Conquer College with LD/ADD, which I teach onlineand for which I charge. There is no obligation whatsoever to purchase athing from me – you may remain on my list indefinitely for all thegreat free nuggets. I want to reach people in all socio-economic groups as I earn a living.I am NOT a spammer and would NEVER sell e-mail addresses. Pleaseresearch me online – you can see my bio and endorsements onLinkedIn.com. To subscribe to my list, go tohttp://www.conquercollegewithld.com

Here's to success for our kids,Joan Azarva, Ms.ED_______________________________________________________P.S. Here are some comments from subscribers:BTW- I have passed along info about your newsletter to friends of minew/ college-bound special needs teens. I think they will find theinformation useful. – MarilynSince becoming a part of your e-mail list I have received such atremendous amount of helpful and useful information that I cannotbelieve it. Even the teachers at my child's school have asked me, "Howdid you know that, where did you find out about that?" There is no waythat I would refuse you!! I wondered after I did not enroll my child ifyou would end my listing, but you have continued to send me more andmore info. When the time comes to prepare my child for college I willtry to enroll him with you, in the mean time, I can help him more andmore thanks to all that you send our way. THANKS TO YOU!! –CharlotteThank you for doing this much needed work Joan…... I found yourinitial materials reinforced much of what we have been doing. Thanksagain for another learning opportunity with this next big transition. I'll share your info with my daughter too and of course my husband.– Thank you so very much for your excellent service. I appreciate yourexpertise so very much! - Dee
