Course Description

We know that students with hidden disabilities face unique challenges, and our goal is to equip you with the tools and information you need to make a positive impact on your child’s college experience.
Hi, I’m Dan Jordan, a former accessibility coordinator and current therapist at an eastern university. I’ve seen what happens to students who lack the information, resources, and self-advocacy needed to succeed.
Students with hidden disabilities face more challenges than their non-disabled peers. They need support for three areas: advocating for their disability needs, academic skills, and wellness.
College Transition Essentials can give you, the parent, the basics so that you know how and when to support them in all three of those areas.
Did you know that 60% of students, when looking back on their college transition, wished they had sought more help to be better prepared? Plus, a recent student voice survey found that a whopping 75% of students with hidden disabilities experience “some” to “a great deal of stress” that affects their focus, learning, and academics.
But guess what? We firmly believe that with the right support, accommodations, and preparation, we can greatly reduce this stress and overwhelm. That’s why the course is designed to provide you with the knowledge and resources to help your child navigate college successfully.
