Getting accommodations in college takes planning...

Students with ADHD and other learning differences need to know what's coming, how to plan ahead, and where to find help before they need it. College classes move fast. Successful students know where to go and what to do before there's a problem.

Set Expectations

Learn what's normal, adjust your expectations, and realize that this first year is going to have challenges.  

Define Clear Goals

Take some time to outline what you want to achieve in college. Have something to aim for and identify what it will take to get it. 

Create a Plan

Strategize for how you'll respond to difficult moments. Identify your support systems on campus and find the people who are in your corner.

As a parent who once grappled with the daunting task of helping my neurodiverse daughter settle into her new college environment, I can’t express enough the relief I felt when I discovered “Best First Year”

Thank you so much for your advice, this has actually helped me a lot, first semester for me was a struggle in both academics and social life. I'm trying to be better this time around and this presentation helped quite a bit.

I like still being involved in my kids' life as a coach. And your advice and Best First Year coaching helps me stay engaged with them. The context-relative clips that you include each week are easy to share with my 2 kids in college. It's nice that I can still be involved and actually helpful without them feeling hovered over or controlled from afar. And I credit that in large part to your awesome advice!
