Would a gap year be a good idea for my student?
“College-capable” isn’t always the same as “college-ready”, particularly when it comes to neurodiverse students. Add in virtual learning during the pandemic and today’s high school juniors and seniors have lost out on opportunities to practice critical areas of independence that cohorts before them benefited from.
What are some of the indications that your student may not be prepared to go directly from high school to college? What exactly is a gap year, and how and when should you plan for one? Janet Price, Gap Year Specialist at Essig Education Group and award-winning co-author of Take Control of Asperger’s Syndrome: The Official Strategy Guide for Teens with AS and Nonverbal Learning Disorders, will answer these questions and more at this free event.
