Learning Differences Consulting

Tailored, strategic support for students who learn differently

At Spark Admissions, we believe every student is unique — and so are the paths to their best-fit colleges. We specialize in helping students with ADHD, dyslexia, executive-functioning needs, test anxiety, or other learning differences through high-touch, specialized guidance that respects how the student learns and how colleges evaluate applications.

With the right strategy, these students can shine in the college-admissions process. Spark’s consultants develop a customized, multi-year plan that translates a student’s experiences into a compelling admissions story.

Success Stories

We’ve helped countless students find, apply to, and gain admission at colleges and universities that are the right fit for their learning styles.

Nina*

Nina came to Spark Admissions as a high school junior who had recently been diagnosed with dyslexia—a learning difference typically identified much earlier in life.

The diagnosis explained why, despite being an exceptionally smart student with a stellar profile, Nina struggled with her test scores and the extensive reading in her Advanced Placement classes.

Not defeated, Nina had high aspirations for both college and her career. Her parents turned to Spark Admissions for a personalized plan to help her achieve her admissions goals.
