Or you could just vote no, which is what your constituents want. You've already voted for too many terrible nominees. It's time for Democrats to grind this garbage to a halt

And they (now we) have had some great conversations with folks from the admission world, psychologists who work with high school and college students, college autism experts, and even the fabulous Harlan Cohen and @ellenbraaten.bsky.social!

I was a fan (and occasional guest) long before I was invited to join the crew because Vicki and Lynn offered so much helpful advice on really relevant topics.

You’ll also get some answers about the role of disability in the college admission process and learn about the different levels of support colleges offer. It’s a great time to get some background knowledge so you can think about how to work on their preparation in the coming academic year(s).

Will your student still be in high school this fall? It’s also the best time to learn about changes in the college disability services environment, what they mean for how your student accesses accommodations, and learn about some commonly approved ones (and what documentation they’ll need for this).

I promise you – you’ve gotten some misinformation from others. I've worked in college disability services offices for 25+ years, so I know what too many other folks are telling families about accommodations that is *wrong.*

If your student is headed to college in the fall, NOW is the time to watch my webinar on accommodations that are *and aren’t* commonly approved so you know what to expect when they make their requests, which they may be able to do right now.

I know you’ve spent years getting your student's IEP or 504 plan worked out, but college is a whole different ballgame.

Due to changes in my hosting platform, it seems I need to relocate my on-demand webinars somewhere new. That means it’s time for a moving sale! Get nearly 50% off the usual price if you purchase now (you can watch any time before August 31). But you should watch them soon anyway.

I'm not watching that one because... I can't. (They brought Kristen back! 😑) But I'll gladly listen to Ronnie and Ben recap it.

It's not just students with disabilities who struggle to adjust to the unstructured college environment, but they may need more help developing to prepare for it. Here are my tips for all parents to help get their student ready for the transition at @Time:

4/4 I hope you'll forgive the grossness of this post and hope you've found it helpful. Sometimes the lessons that stick are memorable for a bad reason. 😉

3/4 Achievable - I can get this sample in the time before the appointment
Relevant - the cats have an appointment today
Time-bound - I have a specific time by which I need to complete the task

2/4 For today's (not fun) task, the reminder is:
Specific - I know what task I have to complete (get the sample)
Measurable - It's easy to know whether I have a sample...

Sorry - but much as I love Matthew Macfadyen, this man is the DEFINITIVE Mr. Darcy. This is not debatable.

You’ll get so much out of this conversation. Listen now: https://www.collegeparentcentral.com/2025/06/135-the-truth-about-college-admission/
Prefer to watch the conversation? It's on my Youtube channel:

• the importance of reframing college admissions as an opportunity rather than a stressful even
• the need for families to focus on the long-term relationship rather than just the next four years
comment in response to

The duo discussed:
• the significance of proactive communication and setting realistic expectations
• the admissions funnel, explaining how institutions evaluate prospective students.
