Even students who enter higher education with a known learning disability are unlikely to ask for help.
Some parents can afford tutoring for their children's college entrance exams and consultants who specialize in helping students with learning disabilities get ready for college and find a supportive campus.
Also, special education teachers often get minimal training in how to work with students and their families on transitioning out of high school. Those who get more extensive training usually work in transition services for more severely disabled youth, Kimm said. She said students with disabilities will likely have an easier time transitioning to college if they learn to advocate for themselves because higher education doesn't offer the same level of support as K-12 schools.
Fontanesi, the recent UC Davis graduate, said that by the time she got to college, she had figured out what she needed to do to be successful academically. This included asking lots of questions, and asking for professors' expectations. She has also come to appreciate what she sees as the advantages of her dyslexic brain: for one thing, she's good at big-picture systems thinking, a common characteristic of people with dyslexia.
