College counseling and coaching for students with autism and neurodiversity
The transition to college presents unique challenges for neurodiverse students. With the right preparation and support, students can build the skills and strategies needed to succeed academically and socially.
What this service includes
College counseling for neurodiverse students goes beyond academic advising. It addresses the full range of skills and supports needed for a successful transition—from executive function strategies and self-advocacy to accommodation planning and social navigation.
Each student's plan is individualized, reflecting their specific strengths, challenges, and goals. I work directly with students, families, and when appropriate, college disability services offices to ensure a coordinated approach.
