Helping High School Seniors with Learning Disabilities Successfully Transition to College
On this episode of “A World of Difference,” you’ll meet a high school senior who learns differently who is prepping for the transition to college, and see how one family is approaching this next chapter of life. You’ll also receive the straight dope from our panel of transition professionals on helping LD high schoolers make the college transition with fewer stumbles in our “Ask the Experts” segment. And you’ll meet this month’s “Difference Maker,” real estate guru John Crossman, who learned later in life that the career he built was constructed upon a foundation of dyslexia.
It is with a heavy heart that we have to report that our colleague Janet Sawyer passed away Feb. 17, 2021 as a result of COVID-19. After a long career as an Orlando TV news reporter, Janet was the first recruit to join “A World of Difference” as a senior correspondent. She believed in the show and the mission, and worked tirelessly to create perfect segments and brainstorm ways to make the program bigger and better. Beyond that, Janet was a caring and spiritual colleague. The show — and we all — are diminished with the dimming of her light. She made a world of difference.
