2019 College Planning & Transition Conference for Neurodiverse Learners

We have come a long way in making sure students with disabilities enroll in college, but there is still much work to do. Students with learning disabilities enroll in four-year schools at half the rate as those in the general population, and fewer of them are graduating. While many students enter college unprepared for the demands of college-level work, students with learning disabilities can find that the increased demands, coupled with the lack of structure and support to which they may have been accustomed, can present additional challenges. It is important for families, educators, and involved professionals to know about the changes in disability services at the college level and what supports and skills can help students be successful.

2019 Let’s Talk LD College Planning and Transition Conference

produced in Partnership with

the Summit View Schools

This one-day conference, produced by Let’s Talk LD (http://www.LetsTalkLD.org) in partnership with the Summit View School (http://www.SummitView.org), is being developed to serve several purposes:

1) To create an opportunity for students (with learning differences) Grades 11 and 12 (and their parents), to access topical information designed to ease their transition to college;

2) To encourage and prepare students (with learning differences) Grades 8-10 (and their parents) to begin the process of strategic college planning;

3) To create an opportunity for currently enrolled college students (with learning differences) to access topical information and strategies to enhance their college success, and;

4) To build a vibrant Community of Practice where educational, therapeutic, and support services professionals can co-create, innovate, and address and solve pressing issues and problems designed to improve outcomes (academic, psychosocial, professional) for neurodiverse learners.

Seats are limited for the Conference, and this year's Conference is already on track to be notably larger than last year's Conference!  If you are interested in attending, please register.  Ticket prices will increase on Monday, September 16, 2019, for Late Registration

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Middle School, High School and College Students with Learning Disabilities and their Caregivers and Allies; Special Educators and Administrators; Guidance Counselors and Private College Consultants; College Transition Education and Learning Consultants, and; Disability Support Service Professionals Working in College Planning and Transition

 IN GRATITUDE:

Our College Planning and Transition Conference for Neurodiverse Learners would not be possible without the generosity of our Thought Leaders. The social impact of their contributions will be felt well beyond October 5th.

We also recognize that without the generous financial support of our Corporate Sponsors, we would be very limited in our ability to amplify the social impact we are attempting to achieve. We wanted to extend a Special Thanks to our Conference's Corporate Sponsors
