The College Living Experience is a postsecondary program for young adults with learning disabilities who wish to attend college or vocational school. This comprehensive program includes academic assistance, independent living skills instruction and social skills training. Students live in apartments that are within easy walking distance to several colleges and a vocational school at which they attend classes. Mastery of the CSSI program identifies the foundation level of LD students thereby projecting reasonable expectations for success in college and improves successful future employment. A program for women with learning disabilities over 18 years of age, the Learning Center affords students the opportunity to begin their college careers by participating in regular session classes with support services such as priority registration, tutoring, taped textbooks, and extended time on testing.
Students live in campus residence halls.
Most students attending summer school are planning to begin their freshman year at Brenau. The program welcomes freshman students who have been accepted at other colleges or universities. There are daily study skills sessions and two weekly learning disability seminars. Structured recreational activities are also included. Students develop their academic strengths in the classroom using strategies that improve their listening, speaking, reading, writing, and study skills.
