Accommodations


Academic accommodations are crucial for continued learning and transitioning to the workplace. Accommodations ensure access to learning environments and foster independence in adulthood. Understanding your accommodations and taking an active role in IEP meetings is crucial for long-term educational and career goals.


Credentials and Certifications

 


Credentials and certifications demonstrate your capabilities to potential employers, opening doors to meaningful employment and career advancement. Earning certifications can also boost confidence and foster independence, empowering you to achieve your professional and personal goals. 


 

Postsecondary Education


Postsecondary education offers greater career opportunities, personal growth, and independence. Access to higher education equips individuals with the skills and knowledge needed for meaningful employment and self-sufficiency. It also fosters critical thinking, social engagement, and empowerment, helping you become a more active participant in your community and achieve long-term success in adult life.
