Build Your Future

College Steps is a nonprofit that provides personalized college support for students with learning and social challenges, including learning disabilities, autism, and executive functioning difficulties. We help students succeed in college, work, and life.

What We do

College Steps’ Individualized College Plan (ICP) builds on the student’s IEP, providing a clear roadmap that identifies needs and tracks progress throughout college. Our concept is based on 4 pillars:

Academic Enrichment

Builds study, time management, and executive functioning skills.

Social Involvement

Supports social communication and campus engagement.

Independent Living

Develops essential daily
living skills.

Pre-Employment Training

Builds career awareness and job-readiness skills.

Where We Are

PERSONALIZED SUPPORT ACROSS COLLEGE CAMPUSES NATIONWIDE

College Steps works with colleges, helping students successfully transition and reach their goals.

College Steps operates on college campuses across six states, bringing our proven four-pillar approach directly to where students live and learn. We combine on-campus presence with virtual support to ensure every student has access to the community and guidance they need to thrive.
