College Share

College Share gives college-bound students the opportunity to hear success stories from peers who have achieved higher-education goals despite having learning differences. It’s a hopeful and inspiring resource that encourages both students and their families.

This information is especially relevant for high school junior and seniors, as well as their parents and school staff that support them.

College Panel

For more than 20 years, Neuhaus Education Center, The Briarwood School, and the Houston Branch of The International Dyslexia Association (HBIDA) have hosted College Panel, an annual event where high school students have the opportunity to hear directly from current college students about how to successfully navigate college with learning differences. These students will share information about their colleges, programs available at their schools, and their strategies for success.

This panel is an inspiration for freshmen and sophomores and a necessity for juniors and seniors in high school who are planning to attend college.
