The Success, Engagement, Education, Determination (SEED) program provides comprehensive “direct” services for students with disabilities interested in college training to master skills in transition, academic, and/or career areas. Designed for students who may require additional services beyond what can be provided through traditional academic accommodations and support services, SEED provides education in independent living, socialization, and soft skills. Through partnerships with Lehigh Valley Center for Independent Living and LCCC faculty and staff, the SEED program provides mentoring, coaching, work experiences, instruction, and training to help students meet their goals and maximize their employment potential.
