Road to Post Secondary for Neurodiverse Students

This is such an exciting time in your life: more independence, the chance to study subjects that actually interest you, being able to pick a timetable that works for you, and so much more. With this cool stuff, though, come some challenges. We have created this course to help you head off some of these issues to proactively set you up for post-secondary success!   

• Module 1: Introduction and habits of effective learners
• Module 2: What are ADHD and Learning Disabilities: How do these conditions impact my individual needs as a learner?
• Module 3: What's the Difference Between High School and Post-Secondary School? Structure, time management, curriculum, self-monitoring your progress, independent learning, class and campus size, expectations, and self-adovcacy
• Module 4: How Do I Prepare for Post-Secondary School? What to do before you apply, after you're accepted, and while you're there
• Module 5: Strategies for Post-Secondary Success: What to do and what not to do and study methods that actually work
• Module 6: Academic Supports and Accommodations for Neuordiverse Students: What is an accommodation, do I disclose my diagnosis to the school, and accessing supports to be successful
• Module 7: Thriving in Post-Secondary: surviving VS thriving, balancing school and life, planning your time, mental and physical health

The Workbook: Students will complete tasks related to each module as they progress through the course. At the end of the course, they will have a specific individualized plan that they can save and print to guide them on this journey.
