Will your neurodivergent teen thrive at college — or quietly burn out by midterms?

Academic capability is only half the battle. If your high school senior struggles with executive functioning, self-advocacy, or independent living, standard college prep won't prepare them for the massive shift ahead.

The stress of transitioning to higher education and living away from home is real for every parent, but it can be a terrifying hurdle for a neurodivergent family.

College Readiness for Neurodivergent Students flips the script from worrying to planning. Designed as an interactive, hands-on workbook, this guide bridges the gap between high school dependence and self-actualized college success.
 
What’s Inside the Workbook:
The 10 Critical Skill Areas: A breakdown of the exact competencies — from self-regulation and mental health to executive functioning and social connections — that college support professionals say matter most.
Dinner Table Prompts: Practical reflection exercises and discussion questions designed to uncover your student’s hidden strengths and immediate areas of need in a non-threatening way.
An Actionable Skill-Building Plan: A step-by-step framework (with concrete examples) to help your family actively build independence before move-in day.
Alternative Option Mapping: Clear guidance on how to evaluate different programs, or pivot to alternative paths if a traditional four-year residential college isn't the best fit right now.
 
Why This Book is Different:

Unlike general parenting advice, this roadmap is entirely data-driven, drawing directly on a comprehensive survey of over 50 directors and leaders of U.S. college autism and neurodiversity support programs. It provides the exact, proven criteria higher-education experts look for when measuring transition readiness.

Whether you are a parent looking ahead to college, a neurodivergent student mapping out your future, or a high school counselor or mental health professional guiding families through transition planning — this workbook is your essential tool.

Give your student the framework they need to step onto campus with confidence.
