b"To close out this Summer season I\\u2019m bringing you a special double episode all about college, specifically, how families can navigate the application process and what\\u2019s changed since Covid, as well as understanding the ways in which colleges may, or may not, support their neurodivergent students and what families should be looking for when exploring potential schools.\\nIn the first half of this episode, you\\u2019ll hear me talking with Eric Karlan, the co-founder of Ivy Experience, a company providing academic tutoring, standardized test preparation, and essay consulting services. Since 2010, Eric has consulted thousands of high school and graduate school students on their college and graduate school application essays and resumes across the country and around the world. He gave a TEDx Talk in 2018 called \\u201cWhat do I need to know about you?\\u201d inspired by his work brainstorming with students on their college application essays.\\xa0Eric and I talked about what\\u2019s different in the college admissions process today as a result of the Covid pandemic, and whether or not those changes are here to stay. Eric explains what \\u201ctest-optional\\u201d and \\u201ctest-blind\\u201d policies are and how they affect some students more than others, what schools are doing to bring in more diversity to their student body, and how students might choose to disclose their neurodivergence, disability, or other parts of their identities in their college application.\\xa0Then in the second half of the episode, I\\u2019m joined by Elizabeth Hamblet, an expert in college disability services and helping neurodivergent high school students successfully transition to college.
