Black text on white page that reads as follows:

New Yorkers who lost their SNAP benefits because of the federal government's expanded work requirements can reapply starting today, October 1.

To find out whether you're eligible to get your benefits back or qualify for an exemption, call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669), visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA, or use the ACCESS HRA app.

🧵 It's October 1st - now's a good time to check in with your freshman, transfer student, or student with a newly-identified/acquired disability to make sure they registered with their college's disability services office (DS).

I spoke to a college student who hadn't shared their notice of approved disability accommodations with professors yet. 😧 They have a midterm next week. This should have happened 4 weeks ago. Students have to play an active role in the process. See what they need to do: bit.ly/CollTip12

Never sell anyone out. In fact, if you're asked about banning 12-year-olds from softball, just say, "You're asking me to sell out kids for my political career. I'm not going to do that. Let's stop demonizing people in tougher circumstances than you or I will ever experience. They have guts."

Have you used the term "difference" instead of "disability" with your college-bound high school student(s)? Now is the time to think carefully. Doing so can deprive them of knowledge they need to self-advocate. @jesslahey.bsky.social & others offer advice for parents. bit.ly/LDblog154x

"If students don't think they have a disability, they likely won't register for the accommodations that are available to them."

Do students have options when their college rejects their disability accommodation request? What if their accommodation is approved but a professor says they can't use it? I wrote about I thought a student experiencing both these challenges should have done: bit.ly/LDAdSS13 #EduSky

“This question came in...roughly two weeks before the end of the term and...the student has already taken one exam in this particular class and in a previous one with the same professor. The timing matters in several ways.” Read more on Substack.

Many college students struggle with time management, planning, etc. Sometimes they can’t concentrate because of bad self-care or life stuff. See which accounts I think students should follow for professional tips & advice (including @dtwuva.bsky.social a learning expert) : bit.ly/LDAdSS5

"A colleague once said, “Eighty percent of our work is unofficial therapy.” She meant that in addition to working with students on the skills they need for academic success, she and I often end up talking to students about their other challenges, because sometimes students’ ability to focus on work is affected by what’s going on in their personal lives."
