Supporting Every Learner’s Path to Success

School and college planning is daunting for all students, but especially for students who learn and think differently. We guide you every step from searching for the right schools to advocating for the right supports.

Reach Out

Getting in to college is only half the story when you learn differently. And some students need more support than their local public schools can offer. After over 13 years as a School Psychologist and Special Education Administrator supporting students with ADHD, AuDHD, learning differences, 2E profiles, and emotional disabilities identify and access the supports that matter, I know what high schools and colleges rarely tell you: the right fit, the right disability services, and the right self-advocacy skills that matter for life, college, and career success.

Alera exists because the guidance you need shouldn’t fall through the cracks at your child’s IEP and Section 504 meetings.

In other words, Alera fills the gaps.
