College Consulting

We are here to provide guidance and coaching throughout the college preparation journey, the application process, and freshman year of college. Our goal is for our students to go to a college where they feel accepted, where they can be successful, and to succeed both academically and socially once there. 

How do we work?

1.   Free Consultation

2.  Discovery Session

3.  College Consulting

During our consultation, you will learn more about how we work and we get to know your family and your needs. We take a personalized approach and together we will determine the next step and what services serve you and your family the best. 

During the discovery session we will meet your student, review their learning history, current accommodations, needs and wants, and assess college readiness skills. Based on the discussions, we recommend next steps. These can include college consulting, college readiness coaching, or alternative paths.

The next step is college consulting. The college application process can be complex, but we will help keep you on track. We offer individualized services through packages or hourly consulting.

4.  College Readiness Coaching

Depending on the needs we have identified together, we design an individualized curriculum for each student, focusing on skills such as self-advocacy, self-awareness, social communication, and executive function focusing on college readiness. 

5.  Review Offers & Enroll

When acceptances have arrived, we can help you review the offers, helping you decide based on scholarships, program options, accommodations and other factors that are uniquely important to you. 

6.  College Freshman Year

This is a big, exciting and scary step for all students, but for students who may have struggled socially or with independence and time management in high school, it can be extra daunting.  We can continue our support through freshman year in college as needed.
