What if your student uses a wheelchair? Will vocational, socio-emotional, and academic support be provided? Is the program one-size-fits-all or will learning and support be optimized according to my student's abilities? Tuition - Will it be affordable? Are there options for financial aid or scholarships? Will this decision of attending college be sustainable? Communication - Will the support staff be easy to reach if you have concerns or inquiries?
