Featuring Elizabeth Hamblet

The transition from high school to college is a significant challenge for any student, but for those with ADHD and other learning disabilities, the shift can be even more daunting. In this episode of ADHD 365, we spoke with Elizabeth Hamblet, a learning disabilities consultant with over two decades of experience, about how students who learn differently can successfully navigate the college environment.

Hamblet shares insights on how college differs from high school for students with learning disabilities, the types of accommodations available, and the importance of developing independence before starting college. She emphasizes the need for proper documentation and offers strategies for selecting the right college. She also discusses how parents and educators can support students through this critical transition. With practical advice and a focus on empowerment, this episode provides valuable resources for students and families who are preparing for the college journey.
