One-time payment $37 US (lifetime access)
Everything you need to know about shepherding your neurodivergent teen to college
College admissions counselor Alex Ellison joins Tilt’s Debbie Reber for a thoughtful, informative masterclass about navigating the path to post-secondary education for neurodivergent students — when to start, how to scaffold the process, vetting schools, exploring gap year programs, finding the right fit, and much, much more.
Focused on what parents of neurodivergent teens (8th–12th grade) for whom college may be on the horizon need to know, this Masterclass explores:
-
How to support without “helicoptering”
-
Where to start, what to do, and setting priorities
-
Scaffolding the search, applications, and admissions entire process
-
Preserving our parent-child relationship through the journey
-
Less “conventional” post-secondary options to be aware of, including gap years
-
Lowering and managing the stress (for you and your teen)
