Navigating College with Disability: Applying, Advocating, and Coping

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting to the Metro DC EDS and HSD Support Group. Students with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) have some additional considerations when they are engaging in the college search, selection, and transition process. Identifying accommodation needs, thinking through transition of care, and managing their health and mental health are a few pieces of the puzzle. In this presentation, I teamed up with Laura Place, LCSW, to talk about what students with EDS/HSD should consider in applying and starting college  and how to best support their mental health in college.
