S2 E31 - Accommodations with Vicky from Actually Aspling

Today’s interview is #3 in the “Back to School” Series for August. Would having an extra 5 minutes to leave class early and get to your next class have made a difference for you in school? Would knowing where the “quiet spaces” were ahead of time made lunch time or breaks less stressful for you? Vicky and I are sharing loads of tips and insights with you today on how to find accommodations in school, but these translate to the workplace and to our everyday lives too. You can still access and find accommodations without a formal diagnosis and we share these as well.
