Help us create a brighter future for young people with a disability and autism
“I use everything I learned at STEPS Pathways College in my day-to-day life.” – Alec, STEPS Pathways College graduate
Some students are able to access NDIS funding to cover a portion of their enrolment; many, however, cannot. Funding is not certain or equal, but we are committed to leaving no student behind.
This is where we need your support. Help us challenge structural ableism, systemic low expectations, and economic exclusion.
The independence gap
Too often, people with a disability and autism are underestimated and denied the same opportunities as their peers. That gap starts from a dishearteningly young age, and it only grows wider as they grow older.
Independence is something that we often take for granted. It allows us to lead fulfilling lives, earn our own money, travel, pursue our goals, and be active members of our community.
Which is why we created STEPS Pathways College: the first and only independence education boarding college for young people with a disability and autism in Australia.
Let’s create a brighter future, together.
