In today’s world, getting accepted to college is only half of the battle. Staying in there is another matter altogether. And for students with ADHD or learning disabilities, staying, thriving, and graduating from college can be very challenging even for the most academically prepared students.

Using college readiness surveys and handy worksheets, Ready for Take-Off teaches you how to promote self-determination, academic, and daily living skills in your teen—skills needed to succeed in college and in life.

Inside you will learn to

  • evaluate your parenting approach and adjust to a coaching style;
  • identify skills your teen needs to develop to successfully transition to college;
  • learn how to have empowering conversations with your teen; and
  • create a readiness plan to allow your teen to slowly and systematically get ready for college.

With this guide, you will become skilled at coaching and boost your teen's college readiness. So, let's go! Are you ready for take-off?
