Finding the right college can feel overwhelming for any student, but for those with learning differences, the process comes with unique opportunities and challenges. Understanding how to navigate college admissions, identify supportive institutions, and advocate for the resources your student needs can make all the difference in ensuring long-term success. This webinar will guide families through the key considerations for students with learning differences, empowering them with the knowledge to make informed decisions.
 

Join Collegewise and ACT to discover: 

 

✔ Understanding accommodations and support services and how to ensure your student gets the support they need.

✔ How to identify the right colleges based on academic support services, accommodations, and campus culture.

✔ The role of self-advocacy in building confidence, independence, and college success.

✔ Application strategies for students with learning differences.

✔ Financial aid and scholarships for neurodiverse students.

 

If your teen is aiming for competitive universities, it takes more than strong test scores and high GPAs. These schools seek students who make an impact, stand out in meaningful ways, and bring unique perspectives to campus. We’ll break down what actually happens inside highly selective admissions and how your student can prepare.

With the right approach, students with learning differences can thrive in college and beyond. Join us for this insightful webinar to gain expert guidance, ask questions, and leave feeling more confident about your student’s path to higher education.
