SUMMER IMMERSION EXPERIENCE
The Transitions Summer Immersion Experience is a transformative two- or three-week readiness program for students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), ADHD and other learning differences (LD). Students will experience:
• College tours
• Group road trips
• Adventurous Adirondack excursions
• Lasting friendships with like-minded people
• Self-expressive creative arts classes
• Innovative, personalized instruction in skills that will prepare you for a lifetime of success!

Choose between two specialized tracks according to your needs and goals for the future:

College and Beyond
Personalized and innovative college prep programs for students entering grades 10-12, attending college or transferring colleges. Students thrive best where a college’s supports best match their unique needs, but schools vary in the supports and resources they offer to students with ASD/LD. This program will help students determine what their needs are and, through tours and hands-on exploration, expose them to different types of college programs
so they can decide which setting best fits them.
- Tour colleges and learn about their ASD/LD supports
- Write college and scholarship application essays
- Earn college credit
- Learn communication and social skills
- Hear firsthand from college students just like you
- Live in dorm-like settings with roommates
- Explore accommodations available to students like you and how to secure them
- Find your dream school!

Career and Life
Life-changing and individualized career prep programs for young adults up to age 27 who want to start careers and live on their own. The career-focused program will teach students core skills essential for career success. Statistically, most people lose their jobs not due to incompetence, but rather to lack of preparation for how to act at work. Transitions will work with its students to
help them find and keep jobs that make them feel happy, secure and fulfilled.
- Work at an internship with coaching and feedback
- Learn and practice the skills employers want
- Develop an employment portfolio
