Wraparound Supports
Wraparound support is provided for lifePATH students taking traditional academic college classes and typically occurs after year 2 of the OLSA program. Wraparound supports include individualized weekly meetings; assistance navigating the college environment; strategies for managing stress and anxiety; and support team services.
Wraparound Support is a component of lifePATH that is designed to meet the student’s individualized needs by using a holistic approach to gain the necessary skills to pursue an academic degree or certification (non-OLSA).
The academic path can be taken exclusively without OLSA classes, concurrently with OLSA classes, or after the OLSA degree has been completed.
