Helping Neurodivergent Students Transition to College Successfully

Mar 18, 2022

What should a transition plan for a student look like?


Going from high school to college can be challenging for any student, but it is particularly challenging for neurodivergent students and their families. Understanding the level of service offered at colleges, and how that affects a student's potential success, is important. Creating a plan for students (and families) to follow can help students make this transition successfully. Knowing what questions to ask, what to do with the answers, what to help students plan for, and what to include in the plan is important. Sometimes the plan may include a transition or Gap year program. Speech Therapist and LD specialist, April Miller shares her perspective as a counselor for supporting parents and students in high school to better prepare for college.
