There are questions you can ask and should ask of the college accessibility staff. Last week was orienting you to the world of accessibility work, in part, and why some questions cannot be answered. However, these questions you can ask.
These questions should be part of you college tour and college choice process. It adds some vital information for students with disabilities that otherwise would get missed and not considered. In this episode. I’ll cover what areas are important like the school's culture and office culture, how are disabilities percieved, student responsibilities, and how to address issues that arise.
It’s important to get all the information up front. This is the only way to make the best choice. What’s the best choice? It’s an informed one. Students can ask these questions at any time, even if they are in college. Yet, it’s best to ask before you make your choice of where to go. Should the information be the only consideration, no, but it can be important and make a big difference.
Ep 86 Got Accommodation questions? Why you may not get the answers you seek.

I know the pressure and worry about accommodations and making sure your son or daughter gets what they need. As a parent of a son with specific learning disabilities and dyslexia, I worried about the same thing. I get it. It takes a lot of willpower not to take over the process and get it done. I understand that if it gets done, that is just one less thing about which to worry.
You may have some common questions: are the accommodations from high school going to be offered? What other accommodations do schools have? What accommodations could get approved? Do you have X accommodation for X disability? Logical and understandable questions. So, how come it seems disability staff give you the run-around or cannot answer a few simple questions? As a former accessibility coordinator, here’s my answer.

Each of these episodes fills a gap in information and guidance that is hard to find.

Some of it’s a warning about information that’s put out!
I'm happy that I've put this information out there for you. Even if some of these episodes don't match your circumstances, chances are that it will for someone you know.

Developing the right mindset for time management for college is a critical change some students don't make. It's unfortunate because being more skilled at time management can mean the world for your grades. It also means having more social time, more fun, less stress, and being responsible. If students don't develop the skills, then they have a harder time succeeding.
The major barriers are a student's mindset, and the skills needed for time management in college. Why start with mindset? Think of it this way. If a student is not invested in managing their time or has certain beliefs about time management, that can hinder or even stop a student from developing the skills they need.
This episode is a module directly from my course Time Management Essentials for College Students. I teach you how to develop the right mindset around time management. I've seen some students just don't know how to develop the skill, while others think managing their time is a hindrance. Both need the skill and can benefit from having an effective mindset around time.

There’s a lot of information about college transition and success. Yet, most are not practical and don’t come from those involved in college. So, what are some of the simple and over looked college succes tips?
I warn you that none of these college success tips are complicated. Yet, as I've stated before, 'simple doesn't mean easy.' Most are going to take intentionality and consistency. If you student wants to do well in college, these tips are essential to making success happen.
There is really no other way to say it. You cannot be succesful in anything without being consistently intentional using the right skills. Day in and day out, holidays, breaks, weekends, every day is a day to use these skills. Here's the ultimate pay off. Your student's grades are better semester after semester and they graduate. Period.

I’ve said it before. K-12 does a horrible job of teaching self-advocacy. I find it tragic and neglectful that it’s not taught. A ton of people advocate for it, emphasize it, and even set goals for it. But they all get it wrong. What’s the best way to teach it and what do you need to do for your student to learn to self-advocate?
Here are eight episodes that focus all on self-advocacy for students with ADHD, learning disabilites like dyslexia, and mental health conditions. If you're new to self-advocacy, these episodes will be a great primer for developing this in your student.
Self-advocacy all starts with self-awareness and builds from there. I've siad it before and will contonue sating it. You cannot advocate from a position of ignornace. As your student builds thier awareness of their disability and how it affects them, thier knowledge increases as does thier ability and confidence to speak about it.

Being prepared and preparing your student for college are shared goals. The better they are prepared, the less regret you have and possibly less stress. How do you get your senior with a hidden disability prepared to make the shift to college?
For students with ADHD, learning disabilities, dyslexia, and mental health conditions, there is a lot more to prepare. It's not just getting bedding, totes, and a mini-refigerator. It's about mindset and expectations, self-awareness and knowledge about your disability, self-advocacy, time management, and focusing on mental health.
Each one of these areas requires time, focus, and intentionality. All are crucial components to collge success. It's best to get these steps down before your student steps foot on a college campus. If you wait, then your student has to play catch-up while trying to cope with the emotional stress and anxiety, and maintain grades and academic workload. That's a lot to ask. It's why I like letting you know ahead of time so you can prepare.

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.

May is all about getting ready before graduation. Today is about the three things you and your student need to do before they graduate. For students with hidden disabilities like ADHD, learning disabilities, and mental helath conditions, there's a bit more to do before college starts. What are those three things and how do they help with college transition?
Well, it's more than buying totes and mini-refrigerators. Those are great things, but they are not going to get your student off to a good start. The paractical things are not going to give them the access their disability needs. What will? Good knowledge of thier disability. Being able to speak about it with confidence. Knowing thier strengths and deficits. Applying for disability accommodations, and getting to know the supports that may need to use.

Getting prepared for college is a huge task. Theres's not just the parctical stuff like bedding, snacks, food, mini-fridge etc. There is also the adult topics to discuss. As a parent of a college student, these topics are critical to have. Why? No regrets. None at all. Even if something happens, which I pray it doesn't, at least you know, as a parent, that you did what you could. It's also a much better college transition.
Students with ADHD, learning disabilities, and mentla helath issues need these conversations to happen. At best, you get them prepared to consider other aspects of college life that your student may not have. Here six topics you might consider. Some are for thier safety, some for their character, and some to keep them at thier best.
What topics?
Behavior
Safety
Wellness planning
Contact
Home rules- commuting or back on breaks
