Whether your student is living at home and attending community college or moving across the country, college is an exciting time full of new opportunities, but also the uncertainty of students suddenly managing their everyday expectations, assignments, and tasks on their own. New portals, campus, resources, professors, academics, responsibilities, friends, and social opportunities are an enormous adjustment for any student.

This first year in college will define their college experience and journey. A student is suddenly faced with adjustments in all avenues of their life and many have lost the safety and structure that home and high school provide. A student with weak executive function skills is especially vulnerable to overwhelm and stress leading to loss of belief in themselves and poor performance in their academics.
