By popular demand, this is the inaugural month of my foray into this format. No charge for the first month as we get the technical kinks worked out.
The end of high school is on the horizon. What’s next? Do you walk the traditional path of college? How do you find the right college? What should you major in? Which of your many areas of curiosity should you pursue, and in what ways? What environment will be a good fit for you? What about choices other than immediately attending a 4-year college? Do you find yourself overwhelmed with all the things you could do? What is really available, and how do you find out about it? How can you make such important decisions? And how do you actually manage all of the complexity of actually getting from here to there?
For many gifted or twice-exceptional students, the standard guidance may be of little help. It may be too broad, too narrow, or simply may not fit their passions and unique learning styles. Furthermore, they may need help in managing the executive functioning tasks needed to get through the process. The object of this group is to help emerging adults explore their own ideas and passions, to discover and evaluate the multitude of options available to them, and to realistically identify, design, and walk a path that will be a good fit for them. Within a supportive and interactive group, participants can share ideas, give each other feedback, and witness each others’ journeys.
Computerside Chats are an opportunity to create ongoing communities of various interest groups, with regularly-scheduled online videochat meetings, in an confidential, safe space. Chats will be held online, in interactive voice / video meeting rooms with a shared whiteboard. Groups will be kept small, and all participants will have the opportunity to speak with me privately to find or create a group that will be a good match for them.
Note that times are Eastern US time -- please adjust your frame of reference accordingly.
Restrictions:

Must provide telephone number to reach parent/guardian or other responsible party, only to be used in the case of an emergency.
OK, if there's anybody out there
considering this and you want a
recommendation, please feel free to
contact me or my son. Basically, Aimee
rocks. I'm happy to share more if
it helps.
Elaine, I'd suggest calling
Aimee or posting something to her on her
facebook or something. She has not done
this format yet with my son but she has
helped us with getting ready for IEP
meetings and she sat in on the IEP
meetings by conference/speaker phone.
She really 'gets' our kids and
was a HS teacher and does some college
interviews for MIT applicants. She
knows this stuff from so many angles and
she's so easy to talk to and
down-to-earth and practical. Did you
click and read 'more' above?
She give more info about the group....
Hi Pam: Thanks for the offer. I don't know anything else about
the workshop except the title but am
familiar with Aimee's work. Have
you (or your son) done this workshop
with Aimee before? It sounds like it is
a series(?) and that it will cost to
continue? Can you give me some details
and tell me something about what
you/your son got out the webinar and
what his issues were? I have a 2e teen
and college seems like a huge challenge
when we are trying to get through basics
like remember to put the name/date on a
paper and turn it in!
