Abstract

From Disability to Diversity: College Success for Students with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (Shea et al., 2019) offers a guide to help higher education professionals raise awareness of the existence of college students with learning differences (LD) and how we can support them. The book gives information on the presentation of learning differences and how faculty and staff can support students with these differences throughout their college careers. It is designed to provide resources for higher education professionals that work in various departments across campus so they can understand the context of LD in college, help identify and support students both in and out of the classroom, and make sure that postsecondary education is inclusive for all students. From Disability to Diversity (Shea et al., 2019) offer strategies for faculty and staff to support students in a variety of areas including orientation, transition, and retention.
