Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities provides effective strategies for navigating the transition process from high school into college for students with a wide range of disabilities. As students with disabilities attend two and four-year colleges in increasing numbers and through expanding access opportunities, challenges remain in helping these students and their families prepare for and successfully transition into higher education. Professionals and families supporting transition activities are often unaware of today’s new and rapidly developing options for postsecondary education. This practical guide offers user-friendly resources, including vignettes, research summaries, and hands-on activities that can be easily implemented in the classroom and in the community and that facilitate strong collaboration between schools and families. Preparation issues such as financial aid, applying for college, and other long-term planning areas are addressed in detail. An accompanying student resource section offers materials for high school students with disabilities that secondary educators, counselors, and transition personnel can use to facilitate exploration and planning discussions. Framing higher education as a possible transition goal for all students with disabilities, Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities supports the postsecondary interests of more than four million public school students with disabilities.

Amanda T. Abbott-Jones provides practical and motivational guidance for dyslexic learners in higher education. It presents effective strategies appropriate for dealing with an array of study tasks including note taking, essay writing, reading, exams etc., while also delivering targeted emotional support. Pragmatic methods are delivered from the voices of students with dyslexia who have first-hand experience of fine-tuning study techniques, making learning suitable for how the dyslexic brain processes and memorises information to become successful in the academic world. As such, this book does not simply present strategies from an educational perspective, but instead draws on the wealth of empirical knowledge from the source of dyslexia - the dyslexic people themselves. This gives readers a collective shared identity, which has been previously lacking, teamed with valuable advice on ways to overcome cognitive and emotional difficulties by using appropriate strategies to enable people with dyslexia to flourish in the university environment.
