Contact me for: The College Achievement Program (CAP) is a differentiated, holistic support program focusing on academic and life skills for students after high school. Our participants are bright and capable students who learn differently, yet can be successful in a postsecondary setting with proper support. Some have diagnosed learning differences, such as dyslexia, attention deficits or ASD, while others simply thrive within a structured support network. CAP exists to coach students who learn differently so that they may achieve the goal of a postsecondary degree and successfully transition to adulthood. Utilizing both in-person meetings and technology such as Skype, we work with students throughout the state of Colorado who are attending a wide variety of postsecondary institutions.
