Benefits of the Internet and Social Media

During the past several months, I have spent a great deal of time on the internet.  I have been learning about resources around issues of college counseling, as well as resources that offer information regarding autism and college planning.  I am excited about all that I have discovered, and many of the resources can be found either on this blog page or in the resources section of this web page.  In addition, I have also become more familiar with social media, and learned how to use it to uncover articles and programs related to my interest of college counseling for students with autism.  For example, I created a twitter account @thrivecollege1.  At first I felt overwhelmed by the process and needed some support to get comfortable, but now I see all of the great articles and blogs that people post on topics that matter to me and the families I work with.  It turns out that Twitter is an amazing resource!

With this in mind, I encourage you to explore the internet as well.  Each child with an autism spectrum disorder is different, and has different goals for their future and different needs to meet those goals.  Because there is no one-size-fits-all model, families and students must do their research in order for students to be set up in the best situation as possible after high school.  The internet is an important place to start.  Research the disabilities offices of colleges you are considering to see what they have to offer.  Explore articles about how families work with their children to support them in taking the SAT or the ACT.  Research the differences between the rights of students with disabilities in high school versus college.  Find local or national scholarships that meet the unique needs of each student.  The list goes on.  I am very grateful to my newfound use of the internet, and I hope to be able to continue to share what I am learning on this blog!
