According to the National Autism Indicators Report, only 34% of students with autism complete college, and 43% of teens with autism don’t spend time with friends outside of school or activities.

Academic success is only part of the equation. Social connection and community matter, too and many students with neurodivergent minds face invisible barriers on both fronts.

At JJB, we support the whole student with strategies that build academic progress and personal growth.

Unstructured time during winter break can feel refreshing or unsettling for students with neurodivergent minds. Hobbies offer a powerful anchor. They’re not just a way to pass time, they support emotional regulation, confidence, and independence.

I often encourage families to help students prioritize the activities they genuinely enjoy. When students feel engaged in something that reflects their interests, it strengthens self-direction and mental well-being.

Sometimes, it’s the small things such as rediscovering a forgotten hobby that help students stay grounded between semesters. 🧩🎨🍳

Holiday break can feel like a pause for some families and a pressure cooker for others. For students with autism or ADHD, the shift in routine can lead to emotional pushback, loss of momentum, or avoidance of anything college-related.😣🎓📆

At JJB, we work with families during this time to help students regroup, ease back into the process, and make meaningful progress, even if it is just one step at a time. We offer personalized steady support that meets your student where they are.

If this break hasn’t felt like a break, we’re here to help!

No one wants to feel rushed, especially students who process information differently. At JJB, we offer unlimited application appointments because we understand that support can’t be one-size-fits-all.

Some students with neurodivergent minds need time to think things through, ask questions, or revisit a task multiple times and that is okay. Our team meets with students as often as needed, whether it’s once a week to stay steady or every day leading up to a deadline.

Families shouldn’t have to worry about running out of sessions or feeling like they’re falling behind. We’ll keep showing up for your student until they feel ready.

Not every student with a neurodivergent mind is working toward a traditional four-year degree and that’s more common than many parents realize.

Some need time to build confidence. Others benefit from structure, life practice, or a different kind of learning environment altogether.

Here are a few options families explore:

✨Gap Year: Guided time off with purpose, often with travel, volunteering, or structured coaching.

🛠️Vocational Training: Hands-on programs that lead to certifications and employment.

🏘️Transition Programs: Supportive settings that offer routines, peer connection, and daily living practice.

📚Independent-Focused College Alternatives: Smaller-scale academics with more flexibility and support built in.

At JJB, we walk alongside families to help them understand what’s out there and choose the right next step based on their student’s strengths, goals, and support needs.

📩Exploring alternatives to college? We can help you make an informed decision that sets your student up for success!

As colleges send out early decision results, emotions can run high. Some students feel relief, others face disappointment, and many are still in the middle of applications. It’s a stressful season for families of students with neurodivergent minds, trying to stay positive while navigating uncertainty.

We remind parents that an early decision doesn’t define a student’s future. There are countless opportunities ahead, and finding a college that fits a student’s learning needs and overall well-being matters far more than being first to receive a “yes.”

If your student hasn’t finalized their list or needs guidance on next steps, now is the perfect time to reach out. We’ll help you regroup, refocus, and move forward with a plan that fits your student, not the pressure of the season.✨📬🎓

College isn’t always the goal, but growing into independence is. For students with autism and other learning differences, the real milestone might be learning how to do laundry, navigate public transportation, or make their own appointments.

We help families explore programs that focus on exactly that: living away from home, managing daily life, and developing routines that support long-term success. It’s not about rushing the process, it’s about supporting it intentionally.

Curious what options are out there? Reach out to learn how we guide students toward the right-fit path.
