Does your student have an IEP or 504 in high school? Is it possible they may use accommodations in colleges, for learning disabilities or health conditions? If so, you may find this episode very helpful. In segment one, host Sally Ganga will be interviewing Sydney Ruff, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Landmark College about how her institution assists neurodiverse students to succeed in college, either through a four-year Bachelor’s degree at Landmark or through one of their transitional programs. Then, Sally will be joined by Sara Calvert-Kubrom, College Coach admissions consultant, and they will discuss how to research accommodations at colleges that don’t have specialized support structures. Last, Sally will be joined by Laurie Peltier, College Coach finance consultant, who will answer some of the top questions her team is hearing about paying for higher education right now.
