Support the unique needs of your Special needs student
For many families, the post-secondary support options available don’t promote the special education needs of their child. College Steps customizes the academic support your child receives, ensuring they get the right support at the right time.
Collaborative
Many colleges offer excellent academic support and accessibility services. College Steps helps students access these disability services and advocate for themselves. We also provide additional support for areas that aren’t covered by colleges, including independent living skills. This collaboration ensures your child receives the personalized support they deserve.
Personalized
To ensure our supports meet your child’s needs, we work with you and your child to create a personalized plan. Each support plan is designed to compliment your child’s goals and to increase their academic success through a pre-college Individualized Education Program (IEP) and peer-mentoring, and social support through Pre-ETS, employment training, and independent living mentorship.
