I've often been asked by clinical professionals "My patient/client gave me documents to fill out and I have no idea how to fill this out?"

 

I get it, as therapist/psychiatrists/Social workers/PCPs/counselors we don't like to reduce people to labels and expectations of those labels. We know that our patients/clients are so much more then these labels and expectations.

 

However we have to remember, the best ways that we can be clear and concise to aid them in obtaining their accommodations. When documenting thing for a patient/client keep it to the core three things.

 

1) List the diagnosis.

2) List the the impacts on the student daily.

3)Note your recommendations.

 

It's incredibly important that you and your client understand that at the college level recommendations aren't requirements. Depending on their school and the school's resources.

 

Do you want to know more, and become proficient in supporting your patients/clients?

Three Keys to Success Make College A Breeze!

For The Parents

Dear Parents, Here's my open love letter to you all! You are amazing, you may have worked tirelessly to make sure your student got what they needed to get through school to this point. You have shared in each of those wins and losses together. You've tried to maintain control and shield them from the tougher challenges so they didn't loose motivation or self-esteem. Once they hit campus, you need to be aware that your ability to maintain control and protect them from those challenges reduces to nearly zero. College is the last pit stop before students head into full fledged adulthood highway. Stepping in, demanding things of colleges and universities and asserting your power to make things happen is not the best way to help them learn how. How to gas up their cars, change, rotate their tires, make sure they have their breaks and their windscreen is clear. The best way to help your student is the following: 1) Have a conversation with your student about your expectations and their expectations. Do they match? What happens when expectations aren't met? Having those conversations are key in order for you and your student to be successful in this jump to college. 2)Have info of where to go if your student is unsure. Then when something happens guide them to the next step. 3) Recognized each student's experience is unique to them. No two students are the same. Instead of you or your student needing to compare themselves to someone else. Do you want to know more? Check out our parent's workshops and our Roadmap for Parents blog.
