The College Quest: ADHD Edition
Description
Choosing the right college is an important decision for any student, but for those with ADHD, finding a school that offers the right support can make all the difference. This session will guide students and families through the key factors to consider when researching potential colleges, including academic accommodations, ADHD support programs, and school policies that impact neurodivergent students. We’ll explore different types of institutions, such as large universities, small liberal arts colleges, and specialized schools, to help students find the best fit for their learning style and needs.
In addition to learning what to look for in a college, attendees will receive a step-by-step timeline for preparing and applying. From researching schools and visiting campuses to securing accommodations and managing deadlines, we’ll break down the process into manageable steps. We’ll also discuss asking for recommendations and advocating for necessary supports once enrolled.
Whether you’re just beginning your college search or finalizing your applications, this session will provide valuable insights and practical tips to help students with ADHD transition smoothly into higher education. Join us to get the information you need to make an informed and confident college decision!
