For neurodivergent students, summer is a pivotal time for academic and social development.

Here are some things to think about as you’re trying to select the correct summer program for your student:

➡ Academic readiness
What is your child’s current academic level? What areas do they need to improve in before next school year?

➡ Social comfort level
What group size is your child most comfortable with? What social setting would they thrive in the most?

➡ Independence level
What kind of assistance does my child need this summer? What programs offer this kind of support?

➡ Long-term goals
What is my child interested in studying in college? Are there any programs in the area that could help them learn more about this interest or develop the necessary skills to succeed in this area?

Consider these topics and then research summer programs in your area. Look for options that combine all of your student’s abilities and interests.

If any of these warning signs sound familiar, it may be time to check-in with your student and find a way to re-energize.

Did you know that spacing out ACT and SAT testing often leads to higher scores? ✍

“Cramming” often doesn’t work for neurodivergent students, and when tests are too close together, it can be difficult for these students to perform well due to the amount of information and pressure between tests.

When scheduling ACT or SAT testing for your student, consider allowing time between each test. This space could give them the opportunity to recover cognitively and rebuild focus before testing again. 🧠

If you’re navigating college preparation and placement tests with your neurodivergent student, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help you through this process, offering direct support and one-on-one guidance for essay writing, test preparation, resume writing, college applications, and more.

As you’re working to finalize your child’s school schedule for next year, remember to factor in these four things:

🧠 Student’s capacity.
Every student is different. Take into account your student’s learning style, strengths, and challenges. Make sure that the classes they are taking are right for them.

⚡ Current stress level.
How is your child handling stress right now? Are they able to handle higher stress classes like AP or Honors? Choosing classes that challenge your student but also give them the opportunity to be successful is key.

🤝 Support services needed.
What accommodations does your student need? What applications or documentation needs to be presented to request these accommodations? Confirm documentation now to avoid delays in the fall.

⚽ Extracurricular load.
What activities will your child be involved with outside of school? How much time will your student spend doing homework that may conflict with these activities? Set expectations now for clubs, sports, and other activities.

Navigating your child’s schedule for next school year can feel daunting and that’s why we’re here to help. We work with parents of neurodivergent children in eighth grade through college to ensure they have the right classes, activities, and opportunities to help them have a successful academic career.

Whether your student is entering high school, struggling in college, or somewhere in between, we are here to help them find the best college and post-secondary fit for them.

Jordan serves high school students with learning differences. His goal is to help students who may need intervention find success in the student’s current school or find a more appropriate fit for the struggling learner. He has immense personal experience with education, psychology, consulting, and navigating learning disabilities.

Jill has worked in the field of special education for over 40 years and has been an educational consultant since 1999. As she worked at the university level, many of her students were transfers whose colleges did not offer them the level of support necessary for academic success. As Jill began to investigate colleges for her own son with learning disabilities, she realized the information could be shared with other families who had students with learning issues.
