Is This You? Guiding Students and Families on Their Unique Path

We specialize in supporting high school and college students with learning disabilities (LD), ADHD, and those on the Autism Spectrum, along with their families. We understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with neurodiversity.

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the college search and application process?

  • Unsure how to find colleges that offer the right learning support for LD, ADHD, or Autism?

  • Struggling with executive functions like planning, organization, or time management?

  • Concerned about the transition from high school to college and independent living?

  • Seeking a strength-based approach that focuses on your child's potential, not just their challenges?

  • Looking for expert guidance to help your student build self-advocacy and essential life skills?

  • Our Approach: Personalized, Strength-Based, Empowering

    We believe in a holistic and individualized approach to educational consulting, focusing on empowering students to achieve their full potential.

    Personalized Planning

    We craft a unique roadmap for each student, considering their individual learning style, academic goals, and personal aspirations. Our tailored strategies ensure every step is aligned with their journey to success.

    Essential Skill Building

    We focus on developing crucial executive functions, self-advocacy, and life skills. Students gain the tools and confidence needed to navigate academic challenges and thrive independently.

    Strength-Based Focus

    Our approach highlights and builds upon each student's inherent strengths and talents. By fostering self-awareness and confidence, we empower them to see their neurodiversity as a source of unique capability.

    Best-Fit College Matching

    We go beyond academics to find colleges that offer the right supportive environment, resources, and community. Our goal is to identify institutions where neurodiverse students can truly flourish.

    With two daughters having learning challenges, Nurtured Minds helped us navigate the entire college application journey. From researching colleges with the right support systems (IEP/504) to providing expert essay coaching for UC applications, their professional and caring approach was invaluable. My daughter now attends one of the colleges they suggested. We whole heartedly recommend them to any family.
