Now more than ever, it is critical that students and their families understand the support offered at colleges. Many students who returned to in person classes this fall are encountering a host of issues that are the by-product of learning during COVID. While it is essential to understand your child's needs, it is equally important to know and carefully consider the programming that colleges offer to support your child's academic, social and emotional life. Even for students who do not have learning differences, making the transition to college life and flourishing there while in a pandemic may require some support. The approach and attitude that colleges have about support greatly varies and can make the difference between your student having a positive and negative college experience.
