Inclusive Pathways: Higher Education Support

Inclusive Pathways: Higher Education Support and Development

Supporting Colleges and Universities in Building Inclusive Programs for Neurodiverse Students

Through this service, I specialize in helping colleges and universities create effective, inclusive support programs tailored to meet the needs of neurodiverse students. I assist institutions in building sustainable frameworks that help students with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, and other neurodiverse conditions develop essential skills such as executive functioning skills, social skills, interview skills, and more. I partner with your institution to foster an environment where all students can thrive, achieve their academic goals, and unlock their full potential.

My Mission

My mission is to empower higher education institutions by developing support systems that specifically address the needs of neurodiverse students. I provide guidance, training, and follow-up support for creating inclusive programs that help students succeed academically and personally. My approach emphasizes skill-building, scaffolding, and tailored support to ensure every student has the opportunity to build skills and excel. 

How I Help Colleges and Universities

 

I offer comprehensive services that guide colleges and universities through the process of creating and implementing effective, inclusive support programs. Here’s how I can help your institution:


  1. Program Development & Design
    I work with your team to design a customized, inclusive support program that aligns with the unique needs of neurodiverse students at your institution. From providing executive functioning training to offering personalized learning strategies, I ensure your program supports the full spectrum of neurodiverse students.
     
  2. Scaffolding Support Systems
    I believe in the power of scaffolding—providing just the right amount of support when students need it most. My approach includes step-by-step strategies and personalized interventions that gradually increase independence while fostering student growth.
     
  3. Faculty & Staff Training
    I provide training for faculty and staff to help them understand the needs of neurodiverse students. This training helps create an inclusive academic environment where educators are equipped with tools to support these students effectively in the classroom.
     
  4. Ongoing Evaluation & Support
    My job doesn’t stop at program implementation. I offer ongoing evaluation to ensure that your support programs continue to meet the evolving needs of neurodiverse students. I’ll collaborate with your team to adjust and refine your programs as needed for long-term success.

The Approach: Step-by-Step Program Development

 

  1. Consultation & Needs Assessment
    I begin with an in-depth consultation to assess your current support systems and understand the needs of your neurodiverse students. I then tailor a strategy that addresses gaps and enhances existing services.
     
  2. Program Design & Implementation
    After the assessment, I work closely with your team to develop a structured program that includes executive functioning training, scaffolding techniques, and more. I also assist with implementing these systems across departments, ensuring faculty, staff, and students know how to access support.
     
  3. Training & Professional Development
    I offer training for faculty, staff, and administrators to ensure everyone is prepared to support neurodiverse students effectively. This includes understanding specific learning differences, mental health challenges, developing inclusive teaching strategies, and fostering a supportive campus culture.
     
  4. Ongoing Monitoring & Support
    Once your program is up and running, I offer continuous support to ensure its success. I monitor student progress, assess program effectiveness, and provide ongoing recommendations for improvement.
