TKU College Access Program Fall 2022
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The TKU College Access Program provides a supportive environment for neurodiverse students to explore college options and build college readiness skills. This program is designed for students aged 14-21. Topics to be discussed include: college experience expectations, navigating new social and academic experiences, educational rights and accommodations, self-advocacy, and more. Program content will be influenced by needs, interests, and concerns expressed by students. 

Please note that because disability and self-advocacy will be openly discussed, applicants should have an awareness of their specific strengths and challenges.

The program will meet virtually via Zoom select Monday afternoons.

There is a $175 fee for this program to be paid at the time of acceptance. Need-based financial aid is available (see final section of this application).

If you have any questions about this application or program, please email info@techkidsunlimited.org.
