Abstract "College for Students with Learning Disabilities is a guide for counselors working with high school students with learning disabilities who are planning on attending college. Divided into two distinct parts, the book first gives an overview of learning disabilities and related issues as they apply to the role of the high school counselor, written in a question/answer format. The second part is a comprehensive, step by step program for creating working groups for college-bound students with learning disabilities. This book advises counselors in a positive way and aims to change the lives of students with learning disabilities by preparing them for college in an effective, concrete way" -- Provided by publisher.
