@Coast55 shared a link to Top College Consultants in a different thread earlier today and it reminded me of a helpful resource for individuals who are looking for colleges that offer additional help for neurodiverse students.
The link below includes 227 schools along with brief descriptors of the type of programming and the cost, if any, for that programming. I’m sure there are schools beyond these that have programs, but it’s a good start.
Additionally, there was a blog post which I think should be required reading for parents of all kids going away to college.
As a key part of that article:
Tasks parents commonly assist with that students will need to do on their own in college:
- Getting up on time for class
- Eating a balanced diet
- Scheduling medical appointments
- Speaking with their instructors about any difficulties with the coursework
- Limiting gaming and social media use
- Managing money
- Going to bed at a reasonable hour
- Making a plan to get homework done on time
- Remembering to turn in completed assignments
- Doing laundry
I think those things go beyond executive functioning skills and moves into adulting, but adulting is a skill kids need to learn!
