So, you know, as you've pointed out, most schools or I would say a lot of schools don't have anybody like us, but their tutoring center might have what they call academic coaches.
But there are also fee-for-service programs like the ones, you know, some of my favorites are Northeastern University in Boston, the Salt Center at the University of Arizona, where students can, for a fee, get access to a specialist, you know, often more than once a week, plus, you know, additional services that they might offer.
But it isn't that, you know, because I work at Columbia, your listeners should come away thinking, well...
She works at a private university.
And so that's why they do this.
And, you know, so my my kids should go to a private university to get that or that I work at, you know, a highly selective university.
And so they must all do that.
I will just let your listeners know it is really an individualized decision from college to college.
Whether or not to go beyond the minimum that the law requires of those offices in offering things like access to a learning specialist.
So you really have to do your research when looking at each school.
And, you know, in a positive way, I would say not make assumptions that a place will not have.
certain kinds of services versus accommodations, which we can talk about in a minute, you know, that go beyond what the law requires just because they think, you know, a school falls into a certain kind of category.
So what does the law require?
That's a good question.
Very little, to be quite honest.
And what I mean by that is just that it's not, this is not IDEA anymore, which is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that provides for
you know, really wide-ranging and encompassing services from child find all the way through, you know, individualized supports and for some students, you know, a one-on-one aid.
The demands of the laws in place at college are very different.
And essentially, whereas, you know, the intent of IDEA is to provide specialized education and just for this is only my view,
and to really maximize what a student's potential is while she's in K-12, the intents of the other two laws are to prevent and avoid discrimination.
