A Day in the Life:

The Student Support Specialist collaborates with students to help them become well-rounded, informed citizens who can live independent and self-sufficient lives as well as navigate the community. The specialist may work simultaneously in multiple functional areas depending upon center requirements and individual development goals. As such, the Student Support Specialist will familiarize themselves with handbooks and other relevant job content for additional functions as they are given assignments there. The Student Support Specialist is an onsite part-time non-exempt position located in Bloomington, IN who reports to the Life Skills and Wellness Coordinator. This position operates in a highly scheduled environment but may require longer hours and weekend work and minimal travel as job duties demand. The Student Support Specialist position involves a moderate physical demand. 

The College Internship Program (CIP) is a full-year private young adult transition program for individuals 18-26 with autism, ADHD, and other learning differences offering comprehensive and specialized services. CIP’s programs uniquely address the needs of adolescents and young adults with high-functioning autism, ADHD, and other learning differences by providing a comprehensive curriculum, expert staffing, and a structured weekly schedule. We believe that a learning disability is a learning difference, and our expert staff understand and meet our young adults enrolled in the program where they are at. Our programs focus on the generalization of specialized skills specifically for autism and learning differences. CIP students live with a close-knit community of peers within a supported apartment living setting and fully access the community around them. Each student’s unique needs are met individually as they prepare for success in independent living, college, and employment. CIP is the result of strategies we have developed over 40 years working with hundreds of young people who learn differently and have exceptionalities, helping develop the self-knowledge and skills to live happy and productive lives.
