Success through opportunity

The College Experience Program (CEP), is an innovative educational experience designed to offer young adults with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to pursue a unique curriculum, in a residential college setting.

Living Resources, in partnership with the College of Saint Rose, provides each student with a well-rounded experience, both academically and residentially, that prepares students to live independently with confidence, work in competitive employment or continue to pursue higher education. The CEP is a two-year, non-credit certificate program.

In addition to electives, some of the course objectives for all students include:

• Socialization and Communication

• Self-advocacy

• Time management

• Community integration and Transportation

• Adaptive living skills

• Job skills

As of May 2010, the College Experience Program has graduated a total of 19 students!
