X–PATH PROGRAM: PAVING THE WAY TO FUTURE SUCCESS

The X-Path Program is a program established to provide individualized support for students on the autism spectrum or with related disorders. Support and coaching is tailored to the needs of each participating student to promote the development of academic competence, social integration, and self-advocacy. The mission of the X-Path Program is to increase opportunities for success for students who have autism and related disorders. Each student will work directly with the Accommodation and Support Coordinators and will also be assigned to a Peer Coach.
