The UNH-4U Bridges program is a new online community transition program to prepare young adults with intellectual disabilities, ages 18-24, for higher education, independent living, and careers. It consists of three, 10-week virtual trainings that promote self-awareness, occupational/academic direction, advocacy, technology and personal computing skills, knowledge of resources, and enhance social connections. The trainings are:
- Navigating Academic Technology and Resources
- Setting and Realizing Goals Using Person-Centered Planning and Assistive Technology
- Healthy and Social Aspects of College Life
Each training will occur remotely via Zoom for a 10-week period. There is NO COST for this initial offering – there will be a cost in the future. All materials will be provided and each participant will be assigned a mentor. Participants will connect and collaborate related to shared interests and training content. Most of these connections will take part outside of regular training sessions based on schedule availability.
