A Process for Transition from Secondary to Postsecondary Studies for Students with Learning Disabilities.
Wooten, Sharon M.; Wooten, Charles L.
The Learning Development and Evaluation Center (LDEC) at Florida A&M University offers students with specific learning disabilities the opportunity to succeed in postsecondary education. LDEC provides psychoeducational assessments upon which an individualized educational plan is based. Guidelines encompass initial screening procedures, ongoing evaluation, and recordkeeping. Courses required for each of four terms to correct reading problems include learning strategies, content course reading, study skills, and vocabulary improvement. Areas of emphasis for planning successful transitions between secondary and postsecondary programs include teaching students to use their time efficiently; cope with problems in a mature manner; and develop personalized study strategies to improve goal setting, monitoring, and self-evaluation techniques. A cooperative network of secondary and postsecondary support persons is critical to transition success. (CL)
