Navigating the path to college and beyond
With someone who has walked it.
I’m Kim Starkman. As a speech-language pathologist and a mother to three neurodivergent children, I help families find the colleges and transition programs where students with learning differences, ADHD, ASD and other learning differences don’t just fit in—they thrive.
Drawing on my clinical background as a speech-language pathologist and my lived experience as a parent of neurodivergent children, I guide students and families through the complexities of post-secondary transitions.

You may be wondering…
Is my child
ready for college?
What happens
when IEP support ends?
Should we
consider a gap year?
How do we compare
disability support services?
My student is capable,
but not independent yet.
You’re not alone. I help families find clarity, realistic options, and a plan that fits their child.
More Than Traditional Admissions Consulting
I consider the whole student—and the whole transition.

How we work together
Comprehensive Intake
We’ll review your child’s unique processing style, social communication, and self-advocacy skills, along with relevant neuropsychological evaluations, 504 Plans, and IEPs, to understand their needs and strengths.
Move Forward with Confidence
You’ll leave with a written roadmap built around your child specifically, including the schools or programs worth pursuing, the accommodations to request, and the self-advocacy skills they’ll need, so the transition out of high school feels like a plan, not a leap of faith.
A first conversation can bring a lot of clarity
Let’s find the right path
for your child—together.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. I’m here to make the journey feel less overwhelming and help your family move forward with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
No preparation required. Just a conversation.
