| Summary: | Students with executive functioning challenges (EFCs), many of whom are capable of college success, often struggle academically and are at risk of slipping through the cracks in our postsecondary education system. This article describes common elements in three postsecondary programs that provide support to students who struggle with executive functioning due to learning disabilities, attention differences, or neurodiversity. These programs are all anchor campuses in the College STAR network. College STAR (Supporting Transition Access and Retention) is a grant-supported project that facilitates partnerships between programs with a strong emphasis on making postsecondary campuses welcoming for students with learning differences. This paper identifies essential elements, common across each program, that have been necessary to make a positive difference for a wide variety of college students.
