What is a College Steps
partnership?

We work directly with your high school/college/agency to provide on-campus mentorship and support for neurodivergent students. Your students get our mentors, we handle the specialized support, you keep doing what you do best.

Communities We Serve

High Schools

Transform transition services with peer mentorship that builds confidence instead of dependence. Our high school partnerships include application support, dual enrollment opportunities, and customized transition planning that prepares students for real college independence.

Families

Finding the right support for your child shouldn’t feel like a fight — and it doesn’t have to. College Steps works directly with families to create personalized plans that go beyond traditional services — practical guidance, real skill-building, and a dedicated team that stays in your corner every step of the way.

Colleges

Enhance retention and campus culture by welcoming neurodivergent students as valued community members. We partner with colleges nationwide to complement existing disability services with individualized academic, social, and life-skills support that improves retention and graduation outcomes.

Agencies

Achieve measurable employment and independence outcomes through evidence-based support models.
We collaborate with state and local agencies to deliver college-based programming for ages 16–26, expanding access through grant-funded and publicly supported initiatives.

How We Build Lasting
Partnerships

Your partnership journey starts with understanding. We examine your community’s specific needs and design collaborative solutions that amplify existing strengths.

We work with partners who value belonging over fixing. Together we create environments where neurodivergent students thrive as contributors, not recipients of charity.

Real Results

“College Steps has provided our high schools with an opportunity to meet with success academically and socially. Students have been able to practice self advocacy and independent living skills that would not have been possible without their peer mentor program!”

– High School Director of Special Education

“College Steps has been an amazing experience for my son. I really appreciate how College Steps looks at the student as an individual and designs a program specific to their needs. My son sees a future at the college, fulfilling his dream.”

– College Steps Parent

“Partnering with College Steps is supporting the quality of our students’ academic experiences on campus and providing them with a stronger social support both in and outside the classroom.”

– College Administrator

“College Steps not only integrates youth into campus life, their services contribute to a higher level of independent functioning. The most recent data on graduates shows a 100% placement rate into occupations, very often related to their field of study.”

– Director, Department of Vocational Rehabilitation

Why Partnership Transforms Student Outcomes

Too many neurodivergent students leave high school unprepared for college independence. Traditional support models miss the social connections and peer mentorship that actually matter.

We create partnerships that unlock student potential through community belonging and real-world skill building, not just academic tutoring.
