"In reading about 80-100 private reports a year for my work at a college disability services office, I see a number of long reports, but they mostly consist of 'boilerplate' text that describes the tests administered to students, not details about how the student performed."

1/ Are you thinking about getting your student tested privately? I read literally dozens of reports a year for students who've registered for accommodations at the university where I work. I've got some advice...

People hear all kinds of inaccuracies about where students w/disabilties should apply to college, what happens in the admissions process, & what they can expect at college. In this post, I bust some common myths: https://bit.ly/GFLDCol2

"It's better for them to register and find out they didn't need accommodations than it is to find out the hard way that they do."

Blogpost title is "Encourage College-Bound Students to Register for Disability Accommodations." Read it on LDadvisory.com.

Research shows why some students with disabilities don't register for accommodations at college. I wrote talking points you can use to persuade them. https://bit.ly/LDBlog114x

The reading load at college is a challenge for most students. Students with disabilities may have even more struggles with it. Read my tips for tackling it @additudemag.bsky.social  https://bit.ly/ECHAM1

Shows title of article - College Accommodations Aren't Like High School Accommodations...but don't panic. Here's a rundown of the accommodations you might not get - as well as the ones that are feasible in higher education - and how you can be sure to secure disability services in college. Picture of young woman studying in a college library.

If you have a high school student with a disability, you may wonder what happens when they get to college. In this post for @additudemag.bsky.social, I explained. Read it: http://bit.ly/ADDMagCAs

"By 2035, education, health and care plans (EHCPs) - legal documents which set out the help children are entitled to - will be reserved for only the most complex cases'

Well, what a surprise. They're setting children up to fail.
