Support for student with ADHD Executive Functioning challenges - RIT, NU, WPI?

@graydayokay RIT has several levels of support.

  1. Spectrum Support Program. This is a paid program that covers academic, social, self care and overall integration/transition. You can have once or twice a week meetings as well as all of the social events and I think may include a pre-orientation transition session, though that might be extra.
  2. Empower. Also a paid program but focuses exclusively on academics and keeping students on track. 1x or 2x a week programs. Empower focuses on Building Foundations, Encouraging Reflection Creating Awareness, Promoting Advocacy and Developing Independence.
  3. Academic Support Center Classes. These are free and available to all include things like applied study strategies, insights on success and study techniques.
  4. Academic Coaching. Free, by appointment. 1;1. Unclear how difficult it is to get these appointments versus a more set option like the above. Covers organization, time management, motivation, procrastination, and concentration.

And then of course there is tutoring (drop in by subject as well as for hire)as well as some special free supports set up specifically for math, physics and reading as well as supplement instruction classes for courses known to be difficult.
