I think what's also crucial is getting help.
And I always say to my students that seeking help is actually a sign of strength, not one of weakness.
It's the people who don't seek help when they need it, you know, who are really selling themselves short.
Oh, sure.
So this is the second edition.
The first one that came out in 2011 was so successful, we decided to revise it.
And so it sort of provides, I like to think, sort of a progression, starting with, in much more detail, obviously, the laws and what's different and what families and professionals need to understand about those differences.
And then, you know, moves into what the students' rights are and their responsibilities because they are, you know, adults in this new system and how the system works, what they have to be prepared to do.
And then we talk about all of the skills that the research points to, you know, that make students successful.
Both the personal skills, as you mentioned, Debbie, like self-advocacy and self-determination.
And then the academic skills, what they need to be prepared to do, some technology also that could be helpful.
how to do those searches, you know, what kinds of things to look for.
And what's really exciting in this version is I got to talk to three admissions, two of them I think are deans, but the dean of admissions at Yale, of undergraduate admissions, talked to me, as did an admissions officer at Dickinson College and at Muskingum, which also has a fee-for-service program, about, you know, one of the biggest questions that I get all the time is should my student
tell the school about her disability when she applies.
And so their views on that, and if so, how to do it is in there.
So that's a new feature this time that I'm really excited about.
And, you know, how to look at services.
And then, you know, the accommodations, what kinds of things can students commonly get?
And, you know, what kinds of things should they prepare maybe not to have?
So I think it provides like a nice progression of understanding of going through this stuff to prepare families for what to expect.
