PASSPORT to Success

PASSPORT to Success is designed to support students with a range of neurodivergent needs (i.e. ASD) that are enrolled at La Salle University. The PASSPORT to Success program provides opportunities to develop life-long skills that prepare students for the social and independent living demands in a university setting (i.e. personal maintenance, domestic maintenance, interpersonal and recreation/leisure skills). Formal accommodations are not addressed through PASSPORT to Success; however, with the support of faculty, staff and student volunteers at La Salle University, PASSPORT to Success nurtures students’ transition to the college environment.

• PASSPORT program goals are developed within a team that provides an individualized plan for strategies and supports for academic support and social objectives to assist students in reaching goals for successful employment and independent social interactions.
• Every student develops a profile that emphasizes existing strengths and challenges while developing needed objectives within their academic and social competencies to promote greater levels of independence.
• The ideal candidate for PASSPORT has the intellectual academic capacity to succeed at college as a full-time student along with the drive and potential to thrive within an environment supporting extracurricular university activities.
