disability resources for college students

Hi all,

Rochelle asked me to forward this information to the group. I left the pricing and other sales info. If you are interested, contact them. We had some of the older versions of this material and found it useful. I tend to feel that commercial offerings in the area of adults with disabilities that are intended to be used by all professional, not just "disability specialist" is a recognition of the numbers of students in/going into college that might need this type of information.

Dear Adult Education Coordinator,

Since so many have discovered college bound adults value from using:

100 Things Every Adult College Student Ought to Know and

100 Things Every College Student With A Disability Ought to Know, we'd like to offer you

a third edition for international students free just for trying the first and/or second. Info at

http://www.cambridgestratford.com/orientation/adults.html

As many have discovered these self-orientation to college guidebooks give adult college bound

students a competitive advantage in transitioning to college. Most discover they aid in problem-

solving common adjustment problems that can face adults starting college who are juggling

multiple responsibilities (e.g. jobs, families, community commitments, etc.).

The edition for those with disabilities clearly outlines accommodations at colleges and how

the responsibility for communicating disabilities to faculty, staff, and fellow students falls

clearly on the shoulders of the new adult college student.

Models for using the editions in the 100 Things guidebook series span a spectrum including:

1. reference gift book to the college bound to improve college adjustment and success

2. text for a College Awareness Seminar that can be offered to small groups of adults on a

month-to-month basis using our "Problem Solving Situations Exercise."

3. etext editions accessed via Amazon's Kindle and made available as reference copies by

the library (NOTE: Kindly refer to colleagues supervising freshman, online, adults, interna-

tion, and traditional college bound students with disabilites.)

To encourage you to validate the success your students will have using these pocket-sized

resources in preparing for college, we would like to offer a free copy of our international student

edition for each three copies of either or both the adult and disabilities' editions.(e.g. pay only

for shipping). This should allow you to support a more diverse group of students and/or allow

your institutional library to maintain copies for reference by all international students in your

district.
