Student Population
College Adapted Services are responsible for providing students with disabilities with the accommodations and services that palliate their disabilities, impairments, and the challenges they face, and for providing college staff with the conditions to support these students.
At College, We Know How to Adapt
You have finally arrived at the next step: post-secondary education. Knowing some of the points of reference and the support available to ease the transition and understand the college environment could help make this journey easier. According to Antidote, transition means “the process of changing from one state or condition to another.” In the world of education, it is not so much a question of changing from one state or condition to another, but rather of changing from one environment to another.
First Step Towards College
Whether you are in your late teens, are a young adult or even a mature adult, the choice you make among the various paths to pursue will likely be a defining moment in your life.
Studies conducted in recent years have shown that regardless of a person’s needs, whether they are moving into the career and vocational sector, into post-secondary education, into adult education, or into the labour market, they require the same conditions for a smooth transition: autonomy, quality relationships, and collaboration.
