Self-Understanding: What are my strengths and challenges? What are my predictable patterns as a learner? What gets in the way of my academic and personal success? How does addressing out-of-classroom needs impact my academic success?

Self-Strategies: What is the difference between study skills and learning strategies? What are some strategies I can use to be more successful? How can I improve my executive functioning and better retain academic information?

Self-Advocacy: What does it mean to be a successful self-advocate? What is my learning profile and how can I communicate that to others? How can I be effective at getting the support I need?
