Students with learning differences or ADD should not limit their dreams because of these issues. However, a student with these challenges needs to be aware of his/her learning profile, strengths and weaknesses, and go to college fully prepared for the rigors and independence of college life.
There are many ways to approach this, but the most important factor is to be prepared and for the student to be their own strong self-advocate. A student should also know where to find resources for help on the college campus, what accommodations can and should be provided, and how to access those resources.
College can be especially challenging for students with ADD, even if they’ve been very successful in high school. There is less structure and much greater independence. Knowing what to expect can keep a student ahead of the game. Not being prepared can set a student up for failure.
But as a newly independent student, he/she becomes the driver in the process of finding and accessing help. Therefore, it's vital that they enter college mentally prepared to be their own self-advocate.
