Ep 77 -- In Which, we Get the Haps with College Apps with Dr. Eric Endlich!

This episode, we have the great privilege speaking with Dr. Eric Endlich! Eric is a clinical psychologist as well as an educational consultant with a passion for supporting neurodivergent students. Throughout his work, Eric has been endlessly advocating for and supporting this population, knowing how wonderful they are! He has a number of books that have inspired and influenced the world of educational psychology (which can be found via links below). Dr. Eric Endlich is also the founder of Top College Consultants, a resource to help students -- especially those with learning differences and/or any neurodiversity -- navigate college and grad school submissions. We are so grateful that Eric is there as an advocate and support for neurodivergent students going through this transition period! Together, Dr. Eric Endlich guides us through the realities that the upcoming generations face regarding college applications. We love the work he and Top College Consultants are doing to change how students and families view the entire college application process. We particularly appreciate how he considers the college essay, knowing that students and families tend to approach it from a very specific lens -- and how Dr. Eric Endlich reframes this perspective to best support the student. It's refreshing to hear this viewpoint, especially knowing that most students end up actually finding a new enjoyment for writing! We also dive into the meaning and purpose of accommodations, and how everything surrounding them changes from high school to college. Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom with us, Eric! You are such an inspiration to parents, students, and education as a whole!🦄🥳🦄 -- There Are So. Many.
