Today's guest is Emma Strong.
Emma contacted me after listening to an earlier episode and told me she had info to share about college accommodations for ADHD. So naturally I asked her to join me on the show.
In this episode you will hear:
- Emma's personal experience with ADHD
- Her experience as an academic advisor for first semester freshman
- The purpose of a, "learning community" on a college campus
- What choosing a major means, (and what it doesn't), in terms of your future career
- Types of accommodations that are commonly available to students
- Working with the disability services office of your university
- The biggest difference between K-12 accommodations, and college accommodations****
- Other supports: tutoring, study groups, office hours with the professor
- You don't have to use accommodations, but if you set them up at the beginning they will be there when you NEED them
- Accommodations for mental health are becoming more common (thank goodness!)
- Testing and other health services available for students who need to be evaluated for ADHD and other conditions
