While the transition from high school to college is a major step for most students, it's an even bigger move for those with learning differences. Today, a student's transcript or records do not indicate that he or she has a learning disability, which means that students and parents must take the lead in order to obtain American with Disabilities Act (ADA) services that could be crucial to academic success. Divided into topical chapters, subjects covered include the differences between high school and college, evaluating prospective colleges, determining the range of programs and support available for learning disabled students, when and how to disclose a learning disability, and the challenges parents face in letting go. Featuring interviews with students at various schools (from “big name” public institutions to small private campuses such as Landmark, which specializes in serving the learning disabled), parents, and admissions officers, this informative guide presents successful strategies for all stages of the transition to college for students with learning disabilities. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (R. Reagan)
