Our mission is to provide educational opportunities for Neurodivergent students to increase self-knowledge in the areas of executive functioning, self-regulation, social interaction, self-advocacy, and career preparation, along with advocacy and access support for students; and to actively promote a campus-wide environment that embraces students, faculty and staff with neurological differences.
Note: Program Entry is Summer only. To join the full program, please see the Future Students page.
