Academic Support

CIP’s academic support team provides a comprehensive support system that will enable each student to achieve academic success while pursuing studies at a local college or university.

Students can attend local community colleges, four year colleges, or universities with CIP's support and direction

A CIP student who chooses to attend a local college or university will receive comprehensive academic supports while working toward a degree. Our academic staff understand the unique strengths and challenges that individuals on the autism spectrum and with learning differences can possess.

CIP’s academic staff provides valuable guidance and support assisting each student to identify a field of study that is both challenging and obtainable.

College Academic Supports

Tutoring & Study Halls

Individual tutoring sessions are scheduled throughout the week and are designed to improve academic skill levels. During these sessions, CIP students also receive valuable assistance and training with time management, organization and study skills.  Students taking college courses can also benefit from regularly scheduled supervised group study halls.

Liaison with College Faculty

CIP academic staff members work with a variety of local colleges, universities and vocational programs in order to assist students with self-advocacy and self-disclosure. Our staff can recommend specific classes and professors that will meet each student’s unique needs.

The College Internship Program has developed a formula for success for individuals with ASD and related disabilities who wish to attend and complete college. At CIP, young adults learn academic, social, and daily living skills -- all designed to help them meet their potential. The many CIP attendees and graduates I know have found the program to be challenging, rewarding, and supportive.
