Episode notes

This chapter discusses the transition of neurodivergent students from high school to college, focusing on the differences in educational accommodations under the ADA and Section 504. It emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy, the responsibilities students have in requesting accommodations, and the support services available through college accessibility offices. Additionally, the chapter highlights the development of independence in students as they adapt to their new environment and navigate their educational journeys.

Moving on from high school is a big transition — especially for students with ADHD who received accommodations because there are no IEPs in higher education. Learn about the process of getting disability services in college from Jillian Lillibridge Heilman, Ph.D.
