1. Consistency of Care. Can you continue to see your neurologist? Can your neurologist recommend someone close to your chosen school, or at the university hospital? If you have frequent appointments with your health care provider at home, are you able to structure your schedule so that you can get home for appointments? Be sure to think about how you can maintain care.
  2.  Know your triggers.  Lack of sleep? Flashing lights? Stress? Loud noises? You will likely encounter these things in college! Start thinking about ways to mitigate these issues now. Make sure you are considering life in a Residence Hall.
  3. Disclosure. You don’t have to disclose, but you will likely want to register with Disability Support Services, especially if you received accommodations in high school, or if you believe you may need accommodations in college. You may also want to consider telling your roommate and RA in case something comes up. It’s not a bad idea to have a medical ID bracelet and to post medical info in a prominent place in your room
