Applying to college is an exercise fraught with angst for most high-school students, but those with learning disabilities have an even more difficult challenge trying to find a school that fits. This excellent book guides kids through the process, hitting all the issues that might come up. There's such good advice in this--including wiping your social networking pages clean--that teens without ADD or other learning disabilities will find this eminently useful too. --Booklist This is a much-needed and hugely useful book. I recommend it most highly. --Ned Hallowell, MD, Harvard Medical School; founder, The Hallowell Centers; author, Married to Distraction: Restoring Intimacy and Strengthening Your Marriage in an Age of Interruption Dr. Grossberg employs a friendly, engaging, and comprehensive approach to outlining the many aspects of the college application process for LD and ADD students. She deftly takes on the many components and helps the reader to clearly understand when, and how the college admissions steps can be successfully taken. --Carl P. Thum, PhD, director, Academic Skills Center and Integrated Academic Support Program, Dartmouth While this book was written for, and specifically addresses, high school students with ADD or LD, it is sure to be useful for teens who are not sure what to expect when applying to college. --School Library Journal
