The transition from high school to college is a rite of passage, a benchmark between parent and child. While exciting, balancing academic demands with the sudden need to be independent can feel daunting, especially for students with learning differences. How can you as a parent best prepare them while they’re still under your wing? In this podcast episode, we sat down with https://www.chconline.org/people/nicole-ofiesh/ (Dr. Nicole Ofiesh), Director of the Schwab Learning Center at CHC, as she shared wisdom from her 30 years in the field. She covers everything from resilience and self-advocacy to electronic calendars and on-campus support systems, reminding us that, above all, “it always comes back to love and compassion.” Resources: Learn more about https://www.chconline.org/schwab-learning-center/ (Schwab Learning Center at CHC) Learn more about https://www.chconline.org/ (CHC) Visit https://www.chconline.org/resourcelibrary/ (CHC's Resource Library)
