I am so glad that we discovered your program; it has definitely been perfect for our student and I can't imagine not having your support as they transitioned to college.

SSP has helped as our student make meaningful progress in the areas they need to work on, such as communicating with professors, organization and adapting to living on their own.

My student’s biggest fear for college was to be away from home, so it was extremely helpful to have people there who would work with them if any issues arose.

Thank you for everything. The SSP program was a major reason for my student attending RIT and it was very helpful with the initial transition.

This program provides the support that students on the spectrum need and was a significant factor in my student coming to RIT. Thanks you for all your hard work.

I am so impressed with the SSP caliber of staff and programming at RIT. I am certain it made a substantive contribution to my student’s ability to transition to higher learning.

Having the consistency helped me build a reliable schedule around my week. This program was amazing, and I am going to miss it.

The NHI in NYC trip was extremely helpful towards helping me find a job. I was able tomeet with different companies and learn about what working in a business environment looks like. After the trip, I was able to network and interview with L’Oreal with help from SSP.

Having SSP has given us a higher level of comfort about RIT. We believe it has played an important role in our student’s adapting to college life. This is a journey, and we see hopeful signs of progress along the way.

My coach helped me with finding campus resources. It was helpful to have someone to talk to who understands my point of view.

SSP staff are there for you!  Makes being a part of the SSP program feel like there really is a team out there for you making sure you are successful.

I've made several friends with SSP members - it's really helped me to expand my social horizons. I've also received a lot of help from SSP with course enrollment - For enrollment for fall next year, I walked through the process with my coach and it was really useful.

In the new environment of college, having someone in my corner who isn't miles away has been extremely valuable. Talking through my struggles with my SSP coach has helped me consider new solutions to my problems and has probably helped to avoid struggles getting worse. And when good things happen, I'm excited to tell him and talk through the next steps for whatever good thing happened…
