Application Process
The Transition Academy is best suited for young adults diagnosed with high-functioning autism who need additional time and training before launching into adult life. Your successful transition to independent living and competitive employment is our goal. Applicants must be motivated toward independence, willing to participate in all aspects of the program, and eager to learn new skills. We have a limited amount of space for students in the incoming class. Candidates meeting qualifications and the order of complete applications received will prioritize admission.
