AT THE CROSSROADS
EASING THE TRANSITION
Transitioning from life at home to life away at school can be a daunting prospect for any teen. Asperger’s Team College provides a way for your young adult to take the next big step.
WHAT MATTERS MOST
LEARNING TO MAKE THE GRADE
Team Asperger’s College comprehensive support system includes:
In addition, we have a close working relationship with Disability Services on several campuses and take full advantage of every resource they offer to assist our participants. While a successful college experience for your teen is our goal, alternative learning possibilities as well as career paths are also explored. At Asperger’s Team College, we realize that one approach might be beneficial for some students, but not others. Our programs are flexible, and we are keenly aware of individual needs. We have high expectations here and require each participant to be enrolled in a school, college or other work or vocational program.
PRACTICAL SKILLS THAT MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE Youth on the spectrum are seeking to feel better about themselves and their lives. But if all the doors seem shut, sometimes it’s easier to just stop looking, and to just stop trying. Asperger’s Team College can open those doors, allowing our participants to move forward with their lives. Here are some of the college-living practical skills we work on that are key to living away from home while getting the most out of the college or vocational experience:
• Transferring records from a previous school
Of course, practicing these skills, and others, every day can make a real difference. Each individual may face his or her own personal challenges and fears. Our counselors and mentors can provide the guidance your child needs to gain a more independent life.
Valuable skills learned now can allow a young person to enjoy a better life, now and in the future. To apply now, click here and choose APPLY FOR ASPERGER'S TEAM COLLEGE. |
