Spotlight Series: A Focus on Education with Alexandra Ullrich - Co-Creator of the Easter Seals program College Navigator
Please join us for the second episode of our Spotlight Series: A Focus on Education. We are excited to bring you Alexandra Ullrich, the Program Manager and Co-Creator of the Easter Seals program, College Navigator. Alexandra helped start this program in 2018, and now it has over one hundred clients. The College Navigator provides individualized services in person and virtually to college students with disabilities supporting their goals, strengths, and needs and not necessarily in their subject of study. The most common area of support is executive functioning, students learn to avoid cramming a 20-page paper the night before it is due. Other areas of support include teaching self-advocacy in authoring emails, working on group projects, and speaking with teachers, as well as learning to access numerous services that colleges provide like career services and resources in the local community.
The transition to college is a momentous time in a young person’s life as they head out on their own for the first time without consistent parental support. We hope you will join us to learn more about the Easter Seal’s College Navigator and how they help prepare and support college students for employment and independent living.
