Cross Roads Services emphasizes that adolescents and adults need to develop a clear understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, interests, and learning needs to succeed academically and make informed career decisions. It is crucial to create appropriate accommodations for students with learning disabilities and ADD/ADHD at both secondary and postsecondary levels to ensure their success. Equally important is what happens after individuals leave school. Selecting the right career path requires exploring potential career options that align with their aptitudes, interests, and personality.

Individuals with disabilities should be informed about their right to accommodations in both educational and workplace settings. Additionally, developing strong self-advocacy skills is essential for navigating these environments effectively.
