Campus Connections
Our innovative, wraparound college support program is designed for students with disabilities/neurodiversity as they attend the post-secondary institution of their choice.
What is Campus Connections?
Campus Connections is an innovative college support program designed to support students with disabilities as they attend the post-secondary institution of their choice. Our team uses the Wraparound Planning Process and the Birkman Method Assessment to build an individualized support team, which pairs each student with a coach who provides mentoring, guidance, and navigational support. The goal of the program is to empower students to problem solve their concerns more effectively and efficiently while also fostering informed choice and greater self-advocacy.
Whether it’s community college, trade school, a four year university, or a certification program, Campus Connections is equipped to support any post-secondary students with disabilities at any institution as long as they meet all admission requirements.
