Life After High School:
Finding the Right Fit for Neurodiverse Learners
Wednesday, March 10, 2021
11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
There are a multitude of paths that students can take after high school to achieve their goals in life. Naturally, parents want to see their children develop into resilient, capable young adults, living as independently as possible. Obtaining a college degree is one way to achieve this, but there are others.
In recent years, many colleges and postsecondary programs have broadened their services to become more inclusive of all learners. In this presentation, we will examine the wide range of higher education models for students with Autism, ADHD, and language-based learning challenges, as well as for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. There are programs for all learning styles; some lead to vocational certificates or certificates of completion, while others lead to 4-year college degrees and beyond. We will discuss the range of college support services available to students and ways to evaluate whether a college will provide what your child needs.
This session will be presented by Judith S. Bass, CEP, an internationally recognized expert in the field of college and postsecondary placement for students who learn differently. For the past 20+ years, Judy has provided comprehensive planning services for students who learn differently, including those with ADHD and ASD. Judy is a contributing author in the recently published book, Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities. Her articles have appeared in numerous magazines, including Washington Parent and ATTENTION Magazine. She has developed CollegeWebLD, www.collegewebld.com, a one-stop source of information on college disability services at over 400 colleges in the US. Judy graduated from Stony Brook University with a degree in Education and Spanish, earned a Graduate Level Certificate in College Counseling from UCLA, and holds the designation of Certified Educational Planner.
