The Compass Project is a vital resource for young adults with learning disabilities and special needs, designed to help individuals identify career and educational direction. Geared for students in high school and young adults in the college transition phase, The Compass Project provides counseling, career assessment and guidance for individuals and their families. It also offers programs to help people develop independent living skills, increase one’s ability to self-advocate, assist in planning for college, and socialize within a multicultural context.
