This episode we speak with Tara Williams about supporting neurodivergent students as they transition to college. We discuss preparing early for accommodations, differences between high school and college support, and how parents can help without managing everything for their student. We also cover common first-semester challenges such as self-advocacy, roommate issues, and communicating with professors and school offices. Tara shares practical strategies for studying, organization, and accountability, and we talk about how students can assess whether a school or major is the right fit after the first semester.
