PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
We offer educational training and support for administrators, advisors, counselors, and faculty of post-secondary institutions.
ADHD and other executive dysfunction diagnoses are on the rise, resulting in more students with accommodations and struggles. We know how much strain this can place on both students and educators.
THIS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS BUILT TO DESIGN SYSTEMS THAT PROMOTE NEURODIVERSE STUDENT SUCCESS AND REDUCE EDUCATOR BURNOUT.
Untapped helps institutions define and implement realistic, concrete changes to help neurodiverse students thrive.
Our interactive seminar provides an overview of the most frequently diagnosed learning disabilities, strategies to support neurodiverse students, implementation guidelines, and small group coaching and problem solving. The program runs approximately eight hours, including lunch and breaks.
STEP ONE
Introductory Phone Call: Talk with your key personnel, which may include counselors, advisors, and other stakeholders, to understand your goals for the workshop better. We will seek to understand your current support for students with learning disabilities, available learning accommodations, the application process for accommodations, and other relevant information.
STEP TWO
Workshop: The workshop will include an overview of executive function skills, their place in academic and professional settings, issues for people who face common learning disabilities, current research, and outcomes achievable through appropriate support. We also will include an interactive session with one or more break-out groups to work on one or more issues at your institution. The workshop will wrap up with a Q&A session.
STEP THREE
Monthly Meeting: We will meet with your designated personnel via one-hour video calls monthly, for up to three months following the workshop. These monthly meetings are intended to reinforce the information presented and to assist you in implementing policies and procedures based on our material. Additional meetings may be scheduled as needed and may incur an additional fee.
Partnerships and referrals
We understand the many challenges your institution manages. Our partnership program model allows us to integrate closely with your exisiting resources to provide inclusive support for at-risk students. The specialized support our mentoring program offers is typically more comprehensive and requires more resources than may be available through traditional programs.
We acknowledge that universities and colleges may not have funding available for Untapped’s partnership program. Our referral program requires that students pay for either a semester or a full year of Untapped’s mentoring program. The referral program is effective for students facing academic probation, as well as those who are challenged by the pace and workload of a post-secondary education.
We have collaborated with incredible institutions such as:
University of Colorado Boulder, University of Colorado Denver, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Children’s Hospital of Colorado, Colorado School of Mines, University of Denver, School Counselor Corps Grant Program, Colorado Counseling Association, Douglas County School District, St. Vrain Valley School District, DSST Public Schools, Englewood School District, Delta County School District, Hillside School, lululemon, Parent Engagement Network, and more!
