Self-Advocacy for Higher Education: A Step by Step Guide to Preparing to Request Accommodations in College Kindle Edition
Self-Advocacy for Higher Education: A Step-by-Step Guide to Preparing to Request Accommodations in College© guides students with learning disabilities (SLDs) to prepare to self-disclose their disability in college and get the accommodations they need.
However, most students with learning disabilities (SLDs) lack the knowledge, self-awareness, and information about their learning disability to speak about it and provide the information college accessibility staff need.
It's not their fault. It's not taught, emphasized, or talked about in K-12, leaving students unprepared to advocate for their disability.
It's unfortunate, unnecessary, and, worst of all, avoidable.
This book corrects all of that in a simple-to-follow, structured method
Ideal for parents, students, and educators, this book transforms
◆SLDs into knowledgeable, self-aware self-advocates.

Parents get a structured method by which they can transition from being the primary advocate while assisting their students in developing the skills and knowledge to improve personal responsibility and independence.
Help them prepare for their first step into adulthood.
Give them the tools they need to do it.
Give them the book Self-Advocacy for Higher Education: A Step-by-Step Guide to Preparing to Request Accommodations in College©.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2022As a person who works at a university program for students with intellectual disabilities and as an adjunct prof in the special education dept, I found this book is very useful and user-friendly. Jordan gives practical information to help support those who may be intimidated by the system. J.A.Sears, PhD
- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020This book is a really effective resource for parents, students, and anyone who is working closely with a pending college student with disabilities. It contains a lot of valuable knowledge around disability laws, as well as what documents students/parents should be gathering before starting college (to begin the process for accommodations). Overall I will absolutely use this book in my therapy practice as a way to help clients advocate for themselves when moving on to higher education.
