Academic skills aren't the only thing students need to be successful - they need solid executive functioning skills, too. Two educational therapists answered viewer questions about how to get students ready for college: https://bit.ly/LDAv12x  #CollegePrep #ExecutiveFunction

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

And without due process this Georgia-born American citizen spends the rest of his life disappeared in a jail in Jamaica. Do you get it yet?

It can help to know what students might expect at college, so I thought I'd explain. Are the accommodations I mentioned different from what you expected to hear? https://bit.ly/ECHFAQ7 #CollegeAccommodations #504Plan #IEP #DyslexiaParent #ADHDParent #SpecialEd

""It’s counterintuitive, but having so much free time actually makes it hard for college students to use time well."

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

1/4 #ExecutiveFunctioning isn't always pretty 😆, but it's important. To make sure I remember crucial tasks, I use the reminders app to help me set SMART goals. Not only do I add tasks to my to-do list, but I make them more effective by using this framework.

I like to dive into my data to see what topics I've posted about are catching people's interest. Last month, lots of folks were reading what college disability services said about the students they see who haven't found success at college. You can read it too: https://bit.ly/LDBlog123x

A former transition  coordinator shares activities to prepare students with disabilities for college success. You can implement these with your students, too!  https://bit.ly/LDBlog108x  #LearningDisabilities #ADHD #Dyslexia #IEP #SpecialEducation #CollegePrep #EduSky

Some of the college students I work with resist using a schedule. It's not the right tool for everyone, but it can be really helpful. I love these suggestions from Leslie Josel for @additudemag.bsky.social: https://www.additudemag.com/daily-schedule-strategies-adhd-routine/

My cohost @collparcentral.bsky.socialand I were delighted to talk to Rick Clark and Brennan Barnard, co-authors of "The Truth About College Admission." We've both been fans for a long time.

Sometimes a parent asks me about something that I think a lot of people wonder about. I've started a Substack so I can respond and share resources with everyone, not just my members and subscribers. See how I responded to a question about admission requirements: https://bit.ly/LDAdSS4

I ran an online poll and 2/3 of the education professionals who responded said parents ask them to move their student from an IEP to 504 before they graduate high school. Find out what these people misunderstand: https://bit.ly/ECHTT6  #CollegeMyths  #IEP #SpecialEducation #504Plan #EduSky

Have a student who's college-bound this fall? Know one to whom you owe a high school graduation gift? Give them the gift of college preparation in the form of books from Jill Grimes, Harlan Cohen, Dr. Bianca Busch, Daniel Willingham & others.

Colleges' lists of accommodations they approve can be helpful in showing what's possible at college. But some folks don't understand how students should use them. I explain here.  https://bit.ly/LDBlog142x #LearningDisabilitiesSupport  #ADHD #Dyslexia #SpecialEducation #IEP #CollegePrep #EduSky

This has not gotten enough traction. Those with physical or mental disability are under attack by the DoE with a new proposed rule that will deregulate handicapped access to future buildings regulations. Please submit a public comment in opposition. We only have 3 days left!

People say all sorts of things to students with disabilities about college admission. So much of it is wrong. All of these myths above are just that...myths! Check out my blog post to get the facts: https://bit.ly/LDblog135x  And learn even more in my book: bit.ly/ECHbook

Great show from @thetraecrowder.bsky.social(who was "loquacious and grandiloquent") and lovely walk on the Highline last night.
