I am a Co-Founder and Principal in the College Consulting Collaborative, www.collegeLD.com. We are a national educational consulting practice, with offices in the DC Metro area, Charleston, S.C., Boston and San Francisco. We specialize in college preparation, planning and placement for students with learning differences such as ADHD, executive dysfunction, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, and other specific learning disabilities. We work with our students to find colleges where they can be challenged, supported, and thrive, so that their learning differences will not be a barrier to their success in college and beyond.Our focus is not only to provide students with a college list, but also to help them develop their academic and college-readiness skills. We use the college selection and application process to promote our students' self-awareness, self-advocacy skills, and independence. We help our students build their executive function and writing skills by introducing strategies and technology while working on their college essay and college applications. By building on our students' strengths and focusing on their capabilities and talents, we help them reach their considerable potential.We spend a significant portion of our time learning about colleges and universities throughout the country, interviewing the staff of the Offices of Disability to be sure the services meet the needs of our students. We are also experienced in helping families explore other paths to success when additional support is needed or a traditional four-year college isn’t the right fit. We strive to support the individual needs of our students to best set them up for post-secondary success.We love what we do!
