[quote=Anonymous]Not OP but I am also interested in doing this, niche would be bright kids with ADHD, focus on not just getting in but finding fit based on interests, learning style, and financial fit. I would actually love to provide coaching for *parents* of kids with ADHD throughout high school, because there isn't enough support or understanding of what works and how to make choices that make sense when the basic parameters of the college landscape are the same, but different for the students.

Also coming at it from a mom angle: 3 kids with ADHD, one ended up at her absolute dream school -- as a transfer. One got a full tuition scholarship at a mid-tier school she adores and is living her best life. #3 is preparing for fall applications as we speak and will likely have some solid choices -- in large part because of a robust 504 plan and really great collaborative choices we made as a family, in coordination with MCPS.

I'm self-employed in a totally unrelated field and would do this only if it could emerge organically from existing contacts and connections, so we'll see. That said, OP, I relate to the insight that after spending hours and weeks and months and years learning about all of this, and seeing how it plays out for different students and families, understanding that you have something of substance to offer. I know I do! I don't know if I want to do what's needed to convert that insight into an actual business, but-- well, I am posting mostly to affirm that there is nothing weird about this, lots of people develop professional interests after deep engagement with a situation or circumstances in their personal lives. Makes it make sense, IMO.

Best of luck![/quote]
