We are experts, artists, creatives, educators, advisors, gamers, techies, mentors… We are inspired by a long-term outcome that we may only experience a glimpse of. We strategize, problem-solve, connect, and support. We think outside the box. We try. We try; sometimes having success and sometimes having to go back to the drawing board. We are a team of diverse professionals that provide young adults with learning differences wrap-around supports as they journey through their transition to independence. Since 1989, College Living Experience (CLE) has been providing transition supports to young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and other varying exceptionalities.

Over the years the evolution and innovation of CLE services have been based on our mission which inspires us to reach beyond the boundaries of the traditional supports. The CLE team provides individualized services across the areas of academics, career development, independent living, and social skills. It’s these wrap-around supports that help each student experience independence as they transition to college, pursue a career and build a life away from home.
