This may help you make the transition to the competitive college environment. Many students view college as a fresh start and a time to do things on their own. Due to differences in requirements in high school and college, the strategies that worked in the past may not work now. Seek help early. It is best to be overly prepared in the beginning.
Many students find that their writing improves with the use of a computer.
Student labs are located at various locations, and resident students can connect their own computers to the campus network from their rooms. Such a tool will be very helpful. Other equipment that is helpful to LD students is the Franklin Language Master, a micro tape recorder, and Books on Tape. The Franklin Language Master is just one type of portable spell checker that also provides the definition and pronounces the word. The micro tape recorder with a counter allows you to leave a space in your notes and jot down the number so you can obtain the information later.
