Learning to Advocate Effectively Takes Time!

When to Start

We recommend starting these Activities when students first consider the possibility of college, usually the 9th grade. By starting early to develop an accurate awareness of learning preferences and the disability related limitations, students will develop the competence and confidence to make their needs known. Your support and encouragement is essential.

Think of these Activities as the start of a four-year process where students meet with you and your colleagues to discuss how they learn and how they can be accommodated in a manner similar what they will experience in college. In time and with practice, they will become skilled.
