Beyond High School: College, Accommodations, and Finding Fit for Neurodivergent Students (ft. Shellee Howard)
In this episode of TELOS: A Neurodiversity Conversation, host Aeris sits down with Shellee Howard (https://collegereadyplan.com/meet-shellee/), a college planning expert who has spent years helping families find schools that fit both their students' needs and financial realities. Together, they unpack one of the biggest — and most under-discussed — transitions in a neurodivergent student's life: the leap from high school to college.
The episode also dives into what makes a college application genuinely memorable, why the "right path" doesn't have to be linear (gap years, community college, and reduced course loads included), and common mistakes well-meaning parents make during the planning process.
A hopeful, practical conversation for any student or family preparing for what comes after high school.
