Videos that will help you prepare your teen for college

[Guest guest]

I'm sure you know that the college success rate for students with disabilities

is pretty poor(around 12-16%). I personally witnessed this when I was a

Learning Specialist at a college from 1993 - 2006. In the meantime, my own son

with LD and ADD began college in 1999 and graduated successfully with a 3.2 GPA.

He was no different than many of the students where I worked, yet he succeeded.

This really made me think -- what did he do differently? I began to make a

list, and it suddenly dawned on me -- I had pretty much codified the

prerequisites for college success among the LD cohort.

I frequently speak to parent groups in the Philadelphia and Metro DC areas, and

I want to share two presentations that I often use in my talks. If you feel

they're helpful, I'd appreciate your sharing them.
