MICC Admissions
At MICC, we're dedicated to helping each individual explore their potential through specialized programs tailored for autistic and neurodiverse individuals. Our admissions process is designed to be straightforward and supportive, ensuring you can easily find the program that best fits your goals and needs.
Starting a new chapter in your life can be daunting, but also thrilling. We focus on getting to know each prospective student and their families individually, providing support as you transition to the next stage of your life.
We firmly believe there is no "ideal candidate" for our programs. The world of neurodiversity is vast and varied, encompassing a wide range of experiences, abilities, and aspirations. Our approach is not about fitting individuals into a predefined mold; rather, it's about creating an environment where each person's unique perspective is valued and nurtured.
We look forward to learning more about you and discussing how we can support your journey toward independence. Welcome to our community!
