MOST Program
The Molloy Opportunity for Successful Transition (MOST) Program
The Center for Neurodiversity is an umbrella organization at Molloy University that houses the programs and resources to help neurodivergent students (including, but not limited to those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, and executive function challenges) to continue their studies at Molloy University. The two main programs are Connect and the Molloy Opportunity for Successful Transition (MOST Program).
Connect
Connect is a student-centered program for neurodivergent students with the goal of promoting academic and social competency, self-advocacy, interpersonal skills, independent living, and social integration: from pre-admission through the college experience. Our goal is to facilitate a full college experience.
Molloy University will once again be offering a summer program for neurodivergent high school juniors and seniors who are college bound, as well as a new full-year program starting in Fall, 2024. We are holding an Information Session on Wednesday, March 6, 2024 from 4pm-5pm and 7pm-8pm via Zoom for students, their parents, school district faculty and staff who may be interested in the program. Connect faculty and staff will discuss the program, admission requirements, the curriculum and our facilities. For further information on Connect and to RSVP to the Information Session please visit www.molloy.edu/connect. The Zoom link is: https://zoom.us/j/92788826574.
MOST Program
The Molloy Opportunity for Successful Transition (MOST) Program in collaboration with the Mary Quinn’s Mark Foundation provides individuals with developmental disabilities opportunities to identify and develop the social and academic skills required to successfully transition into a meaningful and engaged adult life while participating in a fully inclusive college experience on a non-credit, non-degree basis. Beyond their classrooms, students are encouraged to explore and utilize campus facilities and join campus activities based on their individual areas of talents and interests.
