Transition from high school to college
As I read the posts here, I see many recognizable stories from when I was a college Learning Specialist: stories of failure by students who were capable, but for one reason of another, fouled up in college.
This was more common than not where I worked. In fact, it is borne out by statistics - very few students with LD/ADD make it through college, unfortunately.
Having my own son with LD/ADD who succeeded in college made me realize that it DOES NOT have to be this way. When students are properly prepared for college's challenges, understand the system, and choose an excellent fit in a school, the outcome can be far brighter. My son graduated with a 3.2 from Northeastern University and subsequently obtained a job in a competitive industry.
As a result of my dual perspectives, I wrote a course for high school students and their parents - CONQUER COLLEGE WITH LD/ADD that teaches them all the above. Not only does it provide instruction for what to do "NOW", but it continues with decisions and strategies that KEEP one in college. You see, gaining admission, believe it or not, is the easy part. The challenge is STAYING in.
My course runs online and begins again on October 7. Anyone interested may call me at 215 620-2112.

You should NOT fall through the cracks if you have a strong desire to attend college and are at least of average intelligence. However, you must know how to proceed with caution, and that is what I'll teach you,
