Berklee has many sources of student support, but finding what you need and figuring out how to ask for help can be an overwhelming challenge in your first semester. Inspired by the lyrics of “HELP!” by The Beatles, this Family Weekend workshop, hosted by Jeff Edelstein, Neurodiverse Program Manager, will highlight how neurodivergent students can work with their family members, Berklee staff, and other members of their support network in finding and asking for help at Berklee. With guidance from Accessibility Resources for Students staff, students and family members will identify one to three sources of support at Berklee and outline the process of asking these resources for help. 

Lunch will be provided.
