I read dozens of reports every year in my work for a college's DS office. In my opinion, reports *should* contain certain basic elements for the fee that families are paying, but my experience is that many don't.  Find out what should be in *any* report you pay for: https://bit.ly/LDBlog113x
…what separates a basic report from a detailed one worthy of the expense is the amount of detail that the evaluator includes on top of this basic framework." Picture of Elizabeth C.

Save big on Numenera and support the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

This is a fantastic bundle with so much strangeness!

I love this game and not just because we were playtesters.

Sometimes a parent asks me about something that I think a lot of people wonder about. I've started a Substack so I can respond and share resources with everyone, not just my members and subscribers. See how I responded to a question about admission requirements: https://bit.ly/LDAdSS4

In Huntington Beach, advocates for public libraries championed two ballot measures to counter policies by the conservative city council.

The measures both passed Tuesday—one ends a book review board, the other bars the privatization of local libraries. www.sfgate.com/polit...

Wondering if there's one perfect school for students with a particular disability? In my opinion, there isn't. But that's the good news! Learn more: bit.ly/LDblog148x

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

If you have a high school student with a disability, you may wonder what happens when they get to college. In this post for @ADDitude, I explain. Let me know if you learned anything from this! bit.ly/ADDMagCAs

Title of article is "College Accommodations Aren't Like High School Accommodations...but don't panic." Text says, " Here's a rundown of the accommodations you might not get - as well as the ones that are feasible in higher education - and how you can be sure to secure disability services in college."

Today is bittersweet as we celebrate the first birthday without our beloved Rosa, the legendary sea otter who was a pillar of our sea otter surrogacy program. 🦦
A portrait of Rosa the Southern sea otter at the Monterey Bay Aquarium as she floats on her back. She has soft, blonde fur on her face and chest, and wet, chocolatey brown fur on her tummy. Her small brown paws are raised up out of the water with the pads facing the camera as she looks off to the right. The muted morning light in the exhibit on a foggy morning has turned everything tones of sepia.

Small example – someone I know lost their wallet in NYC recently. They bought a train ticket on their phone. Before they arrived home, NYC police called to say someone found it & contacted them. Person who found it shipped it priority & it arrived at 2 days later. You would have done the same.

Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.
