Episode 4: 7 Steps to College Success
This episode is an interview with Elizabeth C. Hamblet author of 7 Steps to College Success: A Pathway for Students with Disabilities.
If you’re a parent of a student with a disability who has an IEP or 504 or you’re a professional who works with them, you probably know the K-12 landscape well. But you may have questions about what happens for these students when they get to college, where the shifts in prevailing laws result in a disability accommodation system that works differently, the academic demands increase and some of the supports students have used in high school won’t be available.
The good news is that research shows that proper preparation can help students make a smooth college transition!

In this episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked challenges of college housing for neurodivergent students, particularly those with ADHD. Did you know that almost 50% of students report unpleasant roommate experiences? For students with ADHD, the stress and anxiety can be even more pronounced due to the housing crisis that has prompted many schools to turn single-occupancy rooms into doubles or triples.

We'll discuss the impact of these cramped living conditions, share practical advice on evaluating housing options, and explore whether off-campus housing might be a better fit. You'll also hear about the importance of setting realistic roommate expectations and finding the right balance between social life and personal space.
