Cory and Chris, two learning disabled college students, look back on their high school years in light of their present college experiences. Many special education teachers and guidance counselors have used this booklet successfully with their LD high school students. A Student's Perspective, 2nd ed., by Carol Wren and Laura Segal.
College students have many challenges, which are magnified when a person is learning disabled.
Co-author Laura Segal, now a successful college graduate, tells in an engaging and encouraging way how she was first diagnosed in college and how she has come to understand and deal with her learning disability. The rest of the booklet provides information about learning disabilities in general, the diagnostic process, and accommodation s at the college level. Sandy and Pat describe their transitions from college to graduate school and the workplace, in this booklet which is a direct sequel to the first two booklets. Through their own experiences as well as the commentary by LD professionals, we see that learning disabilities do not go away when one leaves college, but simply manifest themselves in different ways. A supplement, written by Susan Little for employers of learning disabled workers, accompanies this booklet.
