Skills Needed for College The academic, personal, and social
skills that are needed to succeed in college are very different
from those required in high school. Questions to Ask Yourself As
a person with a disability there are several important questions
that you should ask yourself as you begin the challenge of
planning for college: - What is/are my specific diagnoses? - How
do these disabilities impact me academically and socially? -
What accommodations/modifications have been most helpful to me
in high school? - How good is my academic background compared to
the students with whom I will be competing? - What are my
individual strengths and weaknesses? - What are my short and
long term goals? - How much help have I required from tutors and
my resource teachers? - How are my skills in the following
areas? Reading, written language, verbal expression, eye-hand
coordination, spelling, mathematics, etc.? - What kind of tests
and I used to taking to assess what I have learned? - How
advanced are my study skills?
