Self-awareness is a critical aspect in college success for any student, but particularly for students with learning differences. When a student is aware of their strengths and challenges, the student is then able to advocate for his or her needs when faced with a difficult situation. Self-awareness comes easier for some students than others, and many are self aware in certain areas but not others. For example, a student might realize that math is not a strength and is able to ask for help when needed. But the same student might not realize that they struggle with time management and not ask for help when a long term project is assigned.
The high school years are a good time for students to build their self-awareness, and then take this self-awareness and practice communicating to others as needed. This worksheet is a good start for students, but it is just a start. Building skills for independence takes practice and repetition over time, with tasks evolving as students mature. But it is a place to start.
