I have been reading a new book, called A Full Life With Autism by Chantal Sicile-Kira and her son, Jeremy Sicile Kira, it is a good read no matter where your child is on the spectrum.

The author listed a resource that I did not realize existed in California, a program, sponsored by the Rehabilitation Department called College to Career, or C2C, there are only five public colleges in California that offer this program:

Whether I can convince my young adult to even get near this program is another issue entirely but I wanted to share this with the parent community on WP.

I hope it goes well and they can offer it to more schools in CA soon. None of those are in my area, but I desperately need help with college.
