"Study this book before your children study for college. Sending a child off to college is a daunting experience for most parents, but if your child is neurodivergent, the challenge is magnified. Even students with excellent academic preparation face difficulties in higher education, primarily related to communication, social skills, and sensory-based issues. This parent-friendly book, written by parents who also are college professionals, takes fear and mystery out of the college experience. The new edition takes a detailed look at: Changes and challenges for parents in college applications; New and expanding college programs for autistic students; The role of parents in the transition from being the advocate to supporting their student in self-advocating."--Back cover
