One of the most serious challenges faced by teens and young adults is regarding educational outcomes.
High School

- More are suspended (60%).
- Highest drop-out rate (32%).
College

- Focus on the ability and use of specific, individual accommodations.
- Reiterate that there is a shared responsibility for learning.
- Integrate apps to increase understanding and independence.
- Adjust schedule to exploit energy levels.
