University counseling for neurodivergent students: a case-based discussion

College counseling for neurodivergent students: a case-based discussion

Mejianer Bekaert and Cliona McMenamin explore how neurodivergent students can make informed choices about university and career pathways by focusing on individual strengths, needs, and environments where they can thrive. Drawing on Bekaert’s THRIVE framework and McMenamin’s strengths-based approach to careers guidance, they highlight the importance of finding the right fit rather than pursuing conventional measures of success.
