Looking for Accommodations in College? Here's Everything You Need to Know
<p>If your student might need accommodations in college — whether they have ADHD, a learning difference, an existing IEP or 504, or you were just starting to wonder what support could look like — this conversation was for you. </p><p>💛 We hosted a live Ask Me Anything on Growing Good Humans with Julie, an expert in transition services, and it was such an important conversation for families navigating the shift from high school to college support systems.</p><p> Julie walked us through how college accommodations actually work and answered thoughtful questions from families about what the transition really looks like. </p><p>One of the biggest takeaways? </p><p>The system changes completely after high school. Colleges don’t follow IEPs, and students need to self-identify, provide documentation, and advocate for themselves. It can feel overwhelming at first — but it becomes much more manageable when families know what to expect ahead of time. </p><p>Some of the topics we explored: </p><p>• What accommodations are actually available in college </p><p>• How students with ADHD, learning differences, and mental health needs can access support</p><p>• The documentation families should start gathering now </p><p>• How the process differs from high school — and why that matters </p><p>• Julie’s transition checklist for families </p><p>• Ways to help students build self-advocacy skills before move-in day </p><p>Thank you to everyone who joined us and brought such thoughtful questions to the conversation. 💛</p><h2><strong>Resources From Emerging</strong></h2><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span><u><a href="https://emergingconsulting.com/events/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download the Free Getting Ready to Launch Guide</a></u> — includes a College Application Timeline for every grade level</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span><u><a href="https://emergingconsulting.com/services/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Explore Our College Consulting Services</a></u> — learn how Emerging guides families through the full process</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span><u><a href="https://emergingconsulting.com/academic-services/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Academic Services</a></u> — mentored research projects and internship matching to help students build the experiences that stand out</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span><u><a href="https://emergingconsulting.com/contact/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Work With Us</a></u> — if this conversation sparked questions, we'd love to learn about your student</li></ol><br/><h2><strong>Keywords</strong></h2><p>college career readiness, AI and the job market, college career services, freshman year college prep, high school career planning, what employers want, CU Boulder, Leeds School of Business, college admissions advice, college consulting, Emerging Consulting</p>

Growing Good Humans Live: Career Readiness Starts in Freshman Year — What Every Family Needs to Know
<p>What does "career ready" actually mean in the age of AI — and when should students start building toward it? In this live conversation, Laura sits down with Michelle Chessler, Career Advisor at CU Boulder's Leeds School of Business, to answer that question honestly. Michelle brings a rare dual perspective: years as a global marketing leader across gaming, telecom, and construction tech, and now a front-row seat watching 18-year-olds navigate one of the most competitive job markets in history. If your student is in high school, this conversation is for you.</p><p>Most families think about career services sometime in junior or senior year of college.

She knows what employers are actually looking for when a résumé lands on their desk.</p><p>In this conversation, Laura and Michelle dig into the real work of career readiness: what it looks like, when it should start, and what parents can do right now to help their students build the kind of foundation that holds up well after graduation.</p><p><strong>In this episode, you'll learn:</strong></p><ul><li>Why freshman year — not senior year — is the right time to start career exploration</li><li>How the rise of AI is changing what employers value on a résumé</li><li>Which skills and experiences actually differentiate candidates in a crowded field</li><li>What questions families should be asking about career services on every college tour</li><li>How values clarification, interest exploration, and personality awareness create real career clarity — not just a job title</li></ul><br/><p><strong>About Michelle Chessler</strong></p><p>Michelle Chessler is a Career Advisor at CU Boulder's Leeds School of Business, where she helps students build confidence and clarity in their career journeys. Before transitioning into higher education advising, she held global marketing leadership roles across the gaming, telecom, and construction tech industries.</p><p>Michelle holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology and Business from UCLA and an MBA from CU Boulder's Leeds School of Business.
