The IMPACT program is designed for transition-aged students (18 to 22 yrs olds) graduating high school with a certificate of completion. Students eligibility may include: autism, intellectual disabilities, or other disabilities requiring them the need for more supports. This postsecondary college experience will help students develop self-advocacy, engage in career exploration, and develop a social network that leads to employment in a career field of their choice.
