National Training & Technical Assistance Center

This session is an ECHO format case-based discussion covering the process of assessing readiness for college, accessing accommodations, and preparing youth, with a history of psychosis, to transition to college. Many young people are interested in higher education but are unsure of what that may look like, after receiving a diagnosis of a primary psychotic disorder. We hope to equip attendees with basic knowledge of psychosis spectrum disorders, considerations for a transition to college, and resources for supporting these young adults to achieve success!

Learning Objectives

• Understand the definition of psychosis and psychosis spectrum disorders
• List at least three life skills that young adults should be able to manage independently, prior to transitioning to college
• List at least three characteristics of a college that should be considered in determining a best fit school for a young adult with psychosis
• List at least three potential college accommodations that could be beneficial for a young adult with psychosis
• Access resources for young adults with psychosis

Intended Audience

Anyone working with or supporting young adults with psychosis.
