GOOD INFO AND TIPS.

However, I did not like how they said that these are the things you need to do to succeed. Everyone learns differently and I am not going follow your rules. Although you have given me ideas, which I thank you for. (talking to the book)LOL

Good advice, but a lot of common sense stuff.

Not really earth shattering, but there is a good list of questions to help identify colleges with good ADD/LD supports.

This is an excellent guide for overwhelmed parents who are sending their ADHD/LD student off to college. This volume is very concise. It is easy to find the answers to your most pressing questions. It has great college choice ideas and options for dealing with classes and professors.
