If you have a college-bound high school senior, there are only a few more months of high school left. How can you help your child make the best use of that time?
Landmark College in Putney, Vermont, developed a Guide to Assessing College Readiness to help parents and students assess college readiness.
The six-page guide identifies five important success areas for students with learning disabilities or ADHD:
- academic skills
- self-understanding (metacognition)
- self-advocacy
- executive function
- motivation and confidence
There are questions for each area and a simple rating system. While clearly promoting Landmark’s offerings, the guide looks like a good tool for any college-bound student. It’s a clear format for a parent-child discussion and a way to identify where additional preparation, practice, and support may be needed.
