Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 We are struggling with how to help DS transition from graduation JobCorps into job/school independent living. I found a company called College Learning Experience: http://www.cleinc.net/home.aspx. With a group of experts they do everything plus more than MOM. Offered at several college campuses around the country, the mentor, tutor, teach living skills, social skills all while child is attending college and or working. How perfect is that! Of course, there is a catch...the expense is large. And since not a government entity, no funding there to apply for. They really have a wonderful program, wish I had asked what success rate is. With all of the support they offer each individual, it is probably very good. The CLE rep sent me a list of 21 scholarship and student loan resources, mostly loans...this would be sort of like JobCorps times ten as far as individual counseling, mentoring etc. She also said some state's disability offices are willing to pay for this, other's have been like pulling teeth. This would be so wonderful for DS. Anyone know of similar programs? Sue in TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
