College Success for Neurodivergent Students
Saturday, November 14, 2026
9:00 am to 12:30 pm
Cost: this is a no cost event
Location: 345 Fitch Street, New Haven, CT 06515
The Center of Excellence on Autism Spectrum Disorders at SCSU welcomes you to the College Success for Neurodivergent Students on Saturday, November 14th, 2026 9:00 am-12:30 pm at the Adanti Student Center Theater.
Completing high school and transitioning to college is a difficult time for any high school student and CEASD at SCSU recognizes the unique challenges that neurodivergent students may face during this pivotal time. We hope to alleviate any stress and anxiety surrounding this difficult decision through the College Success for Neurodivergent Students program. This program is designed to inform neurodivergent high school students about the transition to college, supports available for students, and additional valuable information that students and families should be aware of when deciding to apply to college.
The goal of this program is to provide students and their families with the information that they need in order to decide if college is the next best step after high school graduation. This program will feature information about accommodations, residential life, and admissions at SCSU. There will also be a panel discussion that includes SCSU students, faculty, and staff.
We hope that you will consider joining us for this insightful program! Space is limited for this program. Registration is limited to students and their parents/guardians.
