The families I work with secure millions in scholarships every year. One family I worked with received over $600,000 for their two daughters alone. When you know how to position a neurodivergent teen's story, the right schools don't just accept them — they fund them.
On This 30-Minute Call, I'll Help you...
Identify your teen's neurodivergent strengths
and map them to careers and colleges where those strengths actually matter.
Find right-fit schools with real disability support
not just an accommodations letter — schools with coaching, housing, and proactive care.
Position your teen for significant merit scholarships
so the right school doesn't have to mean the most expensive one.
Build a calm, clear college roadmap
from where you are right now, through application day — with no overwhelm.
Walk away with a written next step
so you leave this call knowing exactly what to do, in what order, and why.
Hi! I'm Dr. Emily Wassell
For over 25 years I have worked with students, families, and schools across the world — and the teens I understand best are the ones who don't fit the standard mold.
As a PhD educator, global wellbeing researcher, and former private school founder, I specialize in one thing: helping
neurodivergent teens — ADHD, dyslexia, 2e, anxiety, and learning differences — find the colleges where they can genuinely
thrive, and the scholarships that make those schools possible. Each year, the families I work with collectively secure millions of dollars in merit scholarships. Every student I have guided has been accepted to a school on their list. I only take 15 private students per year — because this work deserves full attention, not a conveyor belt.
• Matching neurodiverse teens to right-fit schools with strong disability support
• Maximizing merit scholarships so families pay significantly less over time
• Building executive functioning and self-advocacy skills before move-in day
• Guiding the entire application process — career direction through acceptance
My students don't just get into college. They arrive knowing they belong there.

When Riana first started coaching with me, she was overwhelmed — juggling essays, SAT/ACT prep, activities, and college applications. She had strong ideas swirling in her head, but struggled to turn them into clear, compelling writing. Over the course of our work together, I helped her get clarity, align with schools that truly fit her, and bring her essays to life. She not only completed powerful applications — she was awarded a full-ride scholarship worth over $93K per year, covering tuition, study abroad, housing, and more. Her mom called my support “priceless.”
"Her mother called my support priceless. A $93,000/year scholarship speaks for itself."

"I ended up receiving a full-ride scholarship to a prestigious university to study psychology."
When I first met Mia, she wasn’t even sure if college was in the cards. She had dyslexia, limited extracurriculars, and hadn’t scored well on the SAT. Her confidence was low, and her family didn’t have tens of thousands saved for college. Together, we clarified her passion for psychology, targeted schools that offered both strong academic support and large scholarships, and built a powerful application that told her story and her experiences — including community service, her leadership projects, and her maturity built over years of being a dedicated babysitter. We worked on everything: her essay, her letters of recommendation, and most importantly — her belief in herself. In the end, Mia received a full-ride scholarship to a prestigious university to study psychology. She was absolutely overjoyed.
✦ Find a school built for how their brain actually works
— not a ranked list of schools built for someone else's teen.
✦ Arrive at college with accommodations already in place
— not scrambling to self-advocate in week one of freshman year.
✦ Get clear on a direction that genuinely excites them
— so they wake up motivated, not just going through the motions.
✦ Find their people and their community
— the environment that makes them feel like they were always meant to be there.
✦ Walk away with a career path and a scholarship
— not just a diploma and four years of uncertainty.
