Preparing students who learn differently (and their families) for college success  


Description:

Students who learn differently are just as smart as their peers, however, they attend four-year colleges at half the rate. How can these students better prepare for a successful college transition? This presentation examines the challenges faced by students who learn differently as they transition to college, with particular emphasis on the additional problem-solving and advocacy skills needed and how counselors can support their families as they go through this process. Topics will include a model for healthy adjustment, helping students recognize their authentic awareness to boost independent executive functioning skills, and thinking about success beyond academic accommodations. We will include steps for parents, counselors, and students to implement along their transition.


Presenters

Hallie Ciarlone, Delaware Valley Friends School
Alex Morris-Wood, Beacon College
