The office of disability support services at the college you plan to attend can help you reach these goals. This office can play a key role in your success and will refer you to other areas on campus where support services are available. No one would expect to be able to succeed as a neurosurgeon or a pro football quarterback without training, but countless thousands of students assume they can succeed in college even if they are not skilled in reading, writing, listening, and other basic study activities. In college, your instructors will take for granted that you have these skills, that you can read, write, listen, take notes and work on exams and assignments effectively. Unsuccessful students bumble through these activities.

No two people learn in exactly the same manner. We all have unique ways of processing information. It is vital that you understand your own learning style and find your keys to success. You'll need a set of tools that you can utilize to learn, adapt, and create strategies tailored to your personal strengths and unique information processing skills. You must understand your own style and accommodate it to be an effective learner and to compete at the postsecondary level.
