The Academic Success Program for Students with LD/ADHD

While The Department of Disabilities Services manages all aspects of accommodations for students with diagnosed learning disabilities and/or ADHD, The Academic Success Program (ASP) provides a variety of services.

• We consult with students who are in the process of getting evaluated, or who believe they might need to get evaluated due to ongoing academic difficulties.

• We provide coaching.  ASP is unique among similar offices at other universities because we have two certified coaches on staff.  Through coaching, students are supported to define and make progress on their goals.  Many graduate students seek coaching specifically to:

• Develop strategies to manage volume of academic responsibilities
• Manage time efficiently
• Balance academic responsibilities with personal life
• Communicate more effectively with professors/advisors

• Working on your dissertation?  Consider Dissertation Coaching.  This is for PhD students who want to focus specifically on issues related to completing a dissertation, including:  

• Procrastination
• Defining topic/proposal
• Working with committee
• Managing literature review
• Creating an effective writing routine
