Touring a college you may be interested in attending is exciting. It should be. However, college tours for students with hidden disabilities (ADHD, learning disabilities, and mental health issues) take on a much more important focus. Services. Choosing the right school for you is important, but as I have said before, the right school is more about what you need versus what you want. It all comes down to what services you anticipate needing. This episode may give you some insight to help you decide which college has the right services for you.

Ep. 41 Look Out! Beware Of Misleading College Disability Information on the Web

I see information on the web about college disability accommodations all the time. Some of it isn't bad and some is just misleading. Some is plain wrong. ESA letter mills being the worst. Just don't go there.

What do you look out for? How can you spot what's good and what is not?

Do you know that some blog posts are written by people that have no experience in college accessibility?

It's just a list of things that they were told or found on the internet. Some have lists of accommodations that are rarely approved, but make it seem like it's just as common as extended test time.

For example, I see lists of accommodations include extensions for assignments. This is exceptionally rare to get approved. You have a better chance of winning the lottery and getting hit by lightning on the same day. It's that rare.

For an uninformed parent, this can lead to asking for the wrong accommodations. When these don't get approved, it leads to frustration and more.

You don't have to go through that. Not. AT. ALL.

You need the right college disability information to make an informed decision.

I'll go over all that so you can get the best college disability information without wasting your time.

There's a lot with college transition. As a parent who's done this twice already, I can tell you that there are always things you wish you did or said differently. Yep, I've been on a college campus for a minute for sure, but that does not mean I did everything right.

I made mistakes. Not happy about it, but I get to pass on my experiences and lessons so you can benefit. It's a little personal in this episode and it's all from a place of reflection and a desire to help you on your journey.

One tip, as parents, you're not going to get it 100% right. That's ok. Give yourself a break and a giant pat on the back for doing awesome so far. You're the main reason your student has chosen to take on the challenge of college.

Take deep breath and know your job will never be done. It just changes. I hope this episode gives you some added encouragement to do what you think is best for your student. No one way is right. Find YOUR right way.

I often talk about college transition. It's an important topic for sure, but when does a student prepare for college. Personally, I think it starts as soon as the first IEP or 504 plan is signed. Regardless, when should you realistically start planning? Junior year is perfect. Why? There's enough urgency and awareness that the next phase of life is coming, and soon. She what three essential strategies does each student need to do? Listen and find out what three essential stategies every junior year student needs to have to get ready for college.
