Planning for life after high school can feel overwhelming, especially when a student needs autism-informed support, structure, accommodations, or a more gradual transition into adulthood.
McKenna Autism Consulting helps families explore the right next step, including college support programs, transition programs, therapeutic schools, gap year options, vocational pathways, and independent living supports.
We help families think through readiness, fit, support needs, executive functioning, social-emotional development, and long-term goals so the next step is thoughtful, realistic, and individualized.
Our work may include reviewing evaluations and school records, helping families compare programs, preparing for tours and interviews, organizing application steps, and creating a transition plan that supports the student and family.
For families who want structured support, we offer several consulting options.
College Pathways Support May Include
- College readiness and transition planning
- Review of IEPs, 504 plans, evaluations, and school records
- Guidance on college support programs and disability services
- Support comparing therapeutic, transition, and postsecondary programs
- Help preparing for applications, interviews, and campus visits
- Planning for executive functioning, independence, and daily living supports
- Parent guidance through the decision-making process
