College Planning for Students with Learning Differences

By Andrea Young on November 30, 2022

We’d like to thank Francesca Korbas, Esq., C.O.O., and Jennifer Gallagher, M.A., Director of College Consulting, from Vested Academics, for leading our March 14th Empower Women Event,  College Planning for Students with Learning Differences. Francesca and Jennifer explained how families of students with learning disabilities can locate the right college fit, decrease application stress, and secure accommodations at their new school. They also discussed what colleges aren’t telling you, why it’s critical to start planning early and share student success stories.
