#145: How To Obtain Accommodations For ADHD And Other Issues In College And Other Programs (with Dan Jordan)

143

If your teen has ADHD, a learning difference or a mental health disorder and they are planning on going to college, you need to listen up!

Today I talk to Dan Jordan of Accessing College, who gives some excellent advice about supporting your teens as they enter college and need to obtain accommodations.

Dan is a licensed therapist and former college accessibility professional (I didn’t even know there was such a thing!) He worked in the college/university setting for over 10 years making sure students received the accommodations they needed. On top of that, he’s gone through the exact same thing with his own son – a college student with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.
