We know students learn in different ways. But when it comes to college admissions, it’s not always obvious how different learning styles can—and should—affect a family’s approach.
Spark Admissions college consultants have years of experience providing thoughtful, knowledgeable guidance on navigating college admissions with a nontraditional learning style. In fact, a significant percentage of our students have learning differences. We are expert academic advisors who provide comprehensive counsel to students with ADHD, dyslexia, executive functioning challenges, test anxiety, and more.
Whether your child would benefit from structured, consistent meetings to accomplish college-related goals, or may be best served by attending a college or university with outstanding student support services, we are here to help serve your family’s needs.
We work with students on all aspects of the college preparation, application, and admissions process to provide them the best possible opportunities.
