Bridges to Adelphi Program

A College Program For Students with Asperger's Syndrome, Autism and Social Anxiety Disorders

Students embarking on college life often feel lost and anxious. But for students with Asperger's Syndrome, Autism, Social Anxiety Disorders and other nonverbal learning disabilities, the college experience can be especially confusing and isolating. The Bridges to Adelphi Program is designed to enhance college life for students with nonverbal learning disabilities by providing help with organizational skills, time management, independent living skills and social skills training.

Using social learning and cognitive behavioral principles as theoretical foundations, Bridges to Adelphi is a multifaceted intervention program that includes coaching, learning strategies, behavioral modeling, and peer mentoring which addresses social, academic and vocational areas.

Beginning with students entering the program following the Spring 2012 semester, the Bridges to Adelphi Program is a fee-based program. Please contact admissions@adelphi.edu for more information or complete our interest form.
