Your clients' needs are changing. Your tools should too.
The number of applicants who identify as having ADHD or learning differences (LDs) is rapidly rising. Families are increasingly seeking specialists who can navigate this complexity, but providing high-touch guidance is incredibly time-intensive. Getting reliable, current answers has meant diving deep into each college's website, piecing together support information that may already be out of date.
Information that's hard to find
Understanding how responsive a school's disability services office is, what accommodations students typically receive such as priority registration or extended time, and what additional support is available, is difficult to capture.
Perhaps most important is hearing about the experience directly from other students who learn differently. Do they feel the environment is right for them, are they able to be themselves, do they feel supported? For students who learn differently, determining the individualized fit is key.
Additional supports that make a real difference
Beyond standard accommodations, many colleges offer resources that can be particularly valuable for students with ADHD or learning differences, including executive function coaching (structured support for time management, organization, and study skills), tutoring, and comprehensive programs tailored to their needs. Knowing which schools offer these resources, and how accessible they are, is often as important as the accommodation level itself.
A rapidly changing landscape
New college support programs are emerging faster than any static resource can track. Pathlitics captures them as they appear, so you always have current information without the research burden.
Sifting Through The Abyss of College Support Research
Finding reliable information on disability services has become a huge endeavor. One parent question can lead to an afternoon lost in a black hole of buried webpages and contradictory information. This exhaustive search for clarity on executive function or learning difference support often pulls your focus away from the high-touch student strategy that defines your practice. And, this falls short of understanding what the actual experience is for neurodivergent students.
Every hour spent navigating fragmented websites is time taken from essay coaching and student advisement. Your expertise is most impactful during the conversations that move a student forward. Pathlitics organizes the technical and experiential research into one central spot so your focus remains on the mentorship that your families value most.
One hub. 600+ colleges. Every support system.
Pathlitics is the first comprehensive research hub built for families of students with ADHD, learning differences, and autism, and for the professionals who serve them.
While your current tools may manage your business logistics, Pathlitics provides the proprietary insights needed to vet college for students who learn differently.
700+ colleges and summer programs, 500+ verified reviews from students with lived experience, and continuous updates so you're not the one checking whether a program still exists or whether they updated their program.
What You Get Access To
Firsthand Student Reviews 💬
500+ reviews from college students and recent grads with ADHD and learning differences. They describe academics, support quality, professor responsiveness, social life, housing, and what campus culture actually feels like. Through the reviews, you understand what accommodations have been extended to other students, such as priority registration or waived language requirements. Having students hear from near-peers about the transition and their advice is often more effective than that from parents or advisors.
Powerful Search and Filtering 🔍
Filter by support level, location, major, and whether a school offers a comprehensive LD or ASD program. Find the right options for each student in minutes, not hours.
Support Summaries 🗒️
Each college profile includes an overview of the supports provided, the percent of students registering with disability services, and the documentation each school requires. Everything in one organized summary, continuously updated as programs change.
Support Level Ratings (1-4) 🫶
Every college is rated from Level 1 (standard ADA accommodations) to Level 4 (comprehensive LD-focused colleges). For most of your students, Levels 1 and 2 may cover what they need. The rating tells you how robust a school's support is.
Direct Connection with Current Students 🤝
Families can send questions directly to current students at specific colleges, through the lens of someone who shares their experience with ADHD or learning differences. Real answers, not generic review sites.
Pre-College Resources 📚
In addition to colleges, Pathlitics, has summer programs, gap year options, and readiness resources for 9th graders through graduates. For IECs already working with families early in the process, Pathlitics adds the specialized data to support them at every stage.
Continuously Updated 🔁
New reviews added monthly. Updated programs and policy changes are tracked. You always have current information.
Webinars and Ask an Expert Resources 🧑🏫
Monthly sessions with transition specialists focus on the experience as a student with learning differences, and provide your clients with extra support that supplements your advice to families.
What Experts are Saying
“I can't speak highly enough about it. It's made a huge difference in how we work with students."
College Counselor, Independent School
Pathlitics gave my daughter agency and empowered her in her search. Not only did we have access to information typically provided by an expensive college advisor, but she loved the ability to read real student experiences. This allowed her to go beyond the marketing material to figure out what informed questions she could ask on visits to make her decision. I have recommended it to so many people.
