By now, most well-developed library video collections offer materials on learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders in children and grown-ups, but how many items do we have for college-age young adults? In this engaging tape, eight college students with specific learning disabilities and/or ADD discuss their transitions from high school to postsecondary learning environments. Hosted by actor/musician Jim Byrnes, these appealing teenagers deliver poignant and inspirational-yet-realistic messages about self-advocacy, transition planning, learning strategies, and the differences they experienced at postsecondary school. Interspersed throughout are several extremely well acted vignettes, each illuminating a particular problem in the students' lives. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: H, C, P. (K. Glaser)
