Discover the Crucial Link Between Student Mental Health and Academic Success
Unlock the Full Potential of Your Counseling Services
Gain Essential Knowledge and Skills to Excel in Supporting Your Clients
As a licensed professional counselor for over 20 years, I understand the importance of providing comprehensive support to college students with mental health conditions. That’s why I created the course Intersection of Counseling and Accessibility: The Ethics of Understanding the Who, What, When, and Why of Accommodation Requests.
The Missing Piece in College Mental Health Support
Did you know that 69% of students with learning disabilities no longer think they have a disability upon graduating high school? Or that 76% of students with learning disabilities attending college never request accommodations? This lack of awareness and understanding can have a profound effect on their academic success.

In this comprehensive program, you will:
- Gain practical application of relevant laws governing students with disabilities
