And I enjoy that work, the parts where I get out and meet people also tremendously.
I think too, you know, when you started off by saying that there are a lot of myths, I, you know, I do get questions all the time and things come to me through understood.org.
You know, sometimes they'll send me a question and,
Just to explain to families why sometimes there's just not much information, I was trained as a high school and middle school special education teacher back in the mid-90s.
My training and the programs that still are out there don't generally cover for these teachers in training what will happen for their students when they go to college.
So through no fault of their own, the teachers and the administrators may not have access or ever had any kind of training about how the laws shift when their students move to college.
And so unless they have some sort of personal interaction with that, either as students with special needs themselves or as the parents of students like that,
they just don't have the information.
And so that sort of leaves it to the internet and word of mouth to fill the gap.
And I think there's a lot of well-meaning people who are trying to help out, but they don't always understand how things work or they kind of misinterpret things that they see.
So I think that that accounts for a lot of confusion, which is why I'm here.
Thank you for asking that question.
No, it's a highly unusual setup that we have in that my students can see me for free or many of my colleagues, you know, for an hour one on one.
And you're so right to point out, this is something that is not typically offered.
Although, you know, I'm starting to hear that more and more colleges are offering, you know, certain kinds of assistance, coaching, or what they're calling learning specialists to students.
But I would just put that out there with the caveat that it's not like K-12 public systems where, you know, I had to be certified in my area of specialty in order to teach in that area.
At the college level, they can call whoever they like an academic coach or a learning specialist.
I and my colleagues all have backgrounds in special education.
We're trained in that area.
We've worked in that area before coming to the college level.
