We apply our Executive Functioning methodology to the college application process so that you can navigate it confidently.
Applying to college can feel exciting, yet also feel debilitating for students with low EF related to ADHD, ASD, anxiety, and other compounding factors. We understand that students struggling with low EF tend to procrastinate or hyper-focus when they experience stress, and these behaviors extend to college applications. It is for this reason that applying strong EF strategies is critical.
Our EF approach ensures that they complete each application component on-time and with confidence.
This is what makes us so unique.
First Step: Initial Consultation
We can answer all of your questions and create the right strategy for your goals and budget.
this one-hour Virtual consultation is designed to demystify the process and to clarify your admissions goals by:
Determining your child’s digital profile
Identifying a strategy for a school list based on academic and professional goals, social interests, financial viability, etc.
Creating a procedure for application completion that is specific to your child’s admissions goals. This includes a checklist of application components (transcripts, scores, letters of recommendation) and a timeline for addressing them.
Designing a plan for the college essays and providing guidance for the writing process. This piece is particularly crucial as it is the only part of the application where your child has a voice and can be more than a statistic. Also, most prompts will encourage your child to write about the wrong topic, which can be a fast track to a rejection letter. We ensure that doesn’t happen.
Our goal is that after the assessment, you and your child will have all the tools needed to complete the admissions process independently. Thereafter, we can support you with as much or as little guidance as you need.
Put simply, our services can be customized to your needs and budget.
I am very pleased and attest to the fact that I was able to balance school, my social life, college applications, and my mental well being thanks to Encompass and the time management practices I learned there. Thank you as always!

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in the college process. I was accepted into 13/15 of the colleges I applied to and I have decided to attend the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the fall. I didn’t think I’d get in anywhere, you made me feel so much better and less stressed. Thank you, I’ll let you know how it goes once I’m there!

Encompass’ College Readiness Program celebrates your child’s individual strengths to guide them to the best college for them. They also recognize that this experience is a family affair and work to ensure that we, the parents, are also supported through this process. I was so worried that my child was going to forget something or miss a deadline. Not at all, they got everything in and were accepted to their top choice school!

[My daughter] finished her second session yesterday. After each session she is BEAMING! She has gained so much confidence partnering with you. She feels great about the approach you are taking and the progress she is making with her essay. Her entire attitude toward her essay has changed. I cannot thank you enough. I truly appreciate the partnership. Have a wonderful day.

I cannot thank you enough for your help and support. Megan was completely transformed after your first meeting with her. She gained so much confidence that she will be applying to UT Austin. Prior to your sessions with her, this was unheard of. She was adamant about not applying because she didn't feel she had a chance to get in. That has all changed. Thank you!
