The podcast is hosted by Ryan Palm, executive director of the Brad McGarry Center for Neurodiversity at Mercyhurst University, with support from students enrolled in the University's Autism Initiative at Mercyhurst program. We will explore topics aimed to help neurodivergent students and their families prepare for the transition to higher education, tips for success once enrolled, and the transition from higher ed into whatever comes next. We will welcome experts in a variety of fields, take listener questions, host round-table discussions, and hear from students themselves who are navigating this journey.

Show Notes – Episode Two – Dr. Eric Endlich and Michelle McAnaney

Who can help me find a college that is a good fit?

In this episode we’ll chat with a pair of true experts on helping students find a college that is a good match. We visit with Dr. Eric Endlich from Top College Consultants and Michelle McAnaney from The College Spy. Both are independent educational consultants (IECs) who work directly with families to understand the college search process, make recommendations for schools to consider, and help with the application process. Both of their websites offer many free or very low cost resources for families in addition to their more comprehensive packages.

There are lots of great resources listed in our show notes or grab a pencil and paper to jot them down! Contact us at neurodiversity@mercyhurst.edu with any questions or suggested topics and speakers!
