Book excerpt: ""You Got Into Where?"" is the first college admissions guide written by a student who is fresh out of the college admissions process. Learn how I was admitted to schools like the University of Southern California and New York University with full tuition scholarships. The guide features copies of my admissions essay, writing supplement, and activities resume that I used to apply to college the fall of my senior year. Get advice on all the secrets of the admissions process from start to finish. ""I can't believe that a 17 year-old has written a college admissions books that is so well-written, clear and accurate. No wonder USC jumped at the chance to have her become their student. My sense of things is that mostly parents read college admissions books; high school students just don't want to take the time. Given what she says and how she says it, I truly believe that teens will rush to read "You Got Into Where?" It is well worth their time."" -Marjorie Hansen Shaevitz Author, adMISSION POSSIBLE

Download or read book From Disability to Diversity written by Lynne C. Shea and published by The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience. This book was released on 2019-02-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colleges and universities are seeing increasing numbers of students with a range of disabilities enrolling in postsecondary education. Many of these disabilities are invisible and, despite their potential for negative impact on students’ academic and social adjustment, some students will choose not to identify as having a disability or request support. Approaching disability from the perspective of difference, the authors of this new volume offer guidance on creating more inclusive learning environments on campus so that all students—whether or not they have a recognized disability—have the opportunity to succeed. Strategies for supporting students with specific learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder or who display learning and behavioral characteristics associated with these profiles are described. A valuable resource for instructors, advisors, academic support personnel, and others who work directly with college students.
Book Synopsis Success for College Students with Learning Disabilities by : Susan A. Vogel
Download or read book Success for College Students with Learning Disabilities written by Susan A. Vogel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JANET W. LERNER This timely volume explores issues pertinent to the emerging subject of college education for adults with learning disabilities. The inspiration for the book was a conference held at Barat College in Lake Forest Illinois on April 7, 1990, entitled College Students with Learning Disabilities: Reviewing the '80s and Planning for the '90s. The occasion was the celebration of the tenth anniversary of Barat College's program for college students with learning disabilities. Papers presented at this con ference, plus several additional invited chapters, and those of the co editors are included in this much needed publication. Only a few years ago, college was out of the question for most adults with learning disabilities. It is heartening to note that this situation has changed substantially over the last 15 or so years, with great strides in opportunities for adults with learning disabilities to acquire a college level education. From a slow beginning with programs such as the one at Barat College, there are today programs and support services in a variety of settings at a growing number of colleges and universities. Many indi viduals with learning disabilities can look forward to experiencing college and better preparing themselves for the future. The collection of papers in this book offers a comprehensive review of this exciting and challenging field.
Book Synopsis College Students' Perceptions about Seeking Help for Their Learning Disabilities at a Competitive University by :
Download or read book College Students' Perceptions about Seeking Help for Their Learning Disabilities at a Competitive University written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With nearly 98% of public institutions reporting enrollment of students with a disability, requests for services, supports, and accommodations is increasing (Gordon et al., 2002; National Council on Disabilities, 2003). However, certain barriers and/or perceptions get in the way of students' mobility in seeking and acquiring necessary accommodations. While disability services and accommodations are available, it appears that many students do not take advantage of them in a timely manner. While it is not required for a student to disclose information about a learning disability, the student will not be able to acquire any accommodations. Students should be prepared and equipped with the self-determination and self-advocacy skills to find and use available resources in college. The current research attempted to determine if selected students with a learning disability at James Madison University are able to advocate for themselves by seeking services and/or accommodations upon entering into post-secondary education in relation to his or her knowledge and understanding of the learning disability, degree of transition services, and perceptions about seeking help. The results indicated that those students who came to Disability Services during their freshman year had more preparation in high school for the transition to college; however, it appears that those students who sought services early may have had more serious academic difficulties (e.g., they were still receiving services during their senior year of high school and were more likely to have comorbid attention and anxiety-related concerns). Overall, getting to Disability Services early does seem to make a difference in a student's academic achievement. Implications for school psychologists, suggestions and feedback regarding the development of a transition protocol within the schools, and future research are discussed.
Book Synopsis Evaluating Self-advocacy in High School Students with Learning Disabilities Through Case Study Analysis by : Stephen L. Centerrino
Download or read book Evaluating Self-advocacy in High School Students with Learning Disabilities Through Case Study Analysis written by Stephen L. Centerrino and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with learning disabilities continue to make advancements in their preparation for post-secondary studies and are one of the largest growing populations to enter colleges and universities. However, it is estimated that only forty percent of students with a learning disability report it to their post-secondary schools, creating difficulties for students to successfully transition to the new academic expectations. Research shows one significant reason for the lack of reporting is students' deficiency in their ability to self-advocate. The current study looks at seven high school students with identified learning disabilities, who receive special education services, to evaluate their understanding and use of self-advocacy skills in their high school setting, in their preparation for transition into post-secondary education. Through the use of the Constructivism-Interpretivism paradigm, with an inductive approach, this case study analysis produced five primary themes and ten associated sub-themes. Analysis of semi-structured interviews and artifacts reveal themes of Awareness, Security, Communication, Experiences, and Motivation. To understand how, from the perspective of the students, these themes emerged and what role they play in the students' understanding, development, and use of self-advocacy, two research questions guide the analysis: (1) How do high school students with learning disabilities view the role of the school and educators in their development and use self-advocacy skills? and (2) How do high school students with learning disabilities understand the role of self-advocacy skills in their preparation for post-secondary studies?

Book Synopsis College Students with Learning Disabilities by : Anna Pozzatti
Download or read book College Students with Learning Disabilities written by Anna Pozzatti and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with specific learning disabilities (SLD) experience social, emotional, and academic challenges throughout their education. These include social isolation, peer rejection, stress, anxiety, lower grade point average and academic achievement. Despite these challenges, an increasing number of students with SLD are pursuing postsecondary education. Given that SLD represents a life-long disability, students continue to face social, emotional and academic challenges during their postsecondary education. One of the most prevalent emotional challenges reported is anxiety, both generalized anxiety and test anxiety. In the 1980s, a self-determination initiative was promoted by the United States Office of Special Education. Scholars in the field of special education began to do extensive research on interventions and services having students practice self-determined behavior. One of the leading scholars, Dr. Michael Wehmeyer, developed the functional self-determination theory (Wehmeyer, 2003) emphasizing acting in a self-determined manner which includes autonomy, psychological empowerment, self-regulation, and self-realization. Extensive research has found interventions that promote self-determination among students with disabilities yields results in students experiencing improved quality of life, academic success, self-advocacy, and self-regulation skills. Given the prevalence of generalized anxiety and test anxiety in students with SLD, it is important to consider how a co-occurring disorder may affect an individual's ability to be self-determined. The goals of this study were to investigate whether anxiety and disability status were predictors of self-determination and to investigate whether college students with SLD have higher or lower levels of anxiety, test anxiety, and self-determination compared to their peers without disabilities.
Book Synopsis A Study of Self-advocacy Among Students with Learning Disabilities at SJSU by : Steven M. Russler
Download or read book A Study of Self-advocacy Among Students with Learning Disabilities at SJSU written by Steven M. Russler and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an underserved group, students with disabilities have seen greater numbers participate in post-secondary education than ever before. Research has shown this same population as having lower completion rates at the post-secondary education level than students without disabilities. As education becomes more connected to one's occupational career, it becomes more important to understand the expierence of students with disabilities in post-secondary education. Noting a common approach in the study of disabilities to overlook individual demographics, this research explored the experience of individual students, with a specific focus on students with learning or non-visible disabilities. Using social constructionist theories, this research explored how students' demographics and environmental influences affected the use of self-advocacy as a tool to succeed in higher education. Having discovered patterns in the analysis correlating gender and ethnicity to the use of self-advocacy, this research discusses the need for a greater awareness of the individual within the disability paradigm. Findings from this study can be utilized to assist those providing accommodations and services to students with disabilities at all levels of education, particularly university faculty, staff, and professors, and will ultimately benefit future students with disabilities.
