The College Program was not just a great help, but a great relief. Knowing that we (my family and I) could count on a place that was knowledgeable about the autism spectrum and people on it, and cared as well, was of great assistance in allowing me to go to college at all. Through strategic academic planning, greatly assisted by The College Program, I managed to graduate within three academic years with my B.S. in Physics, and a minor in mathematics.
