Through funding from the North Carolina Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services and research funding from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, the T-STEP is offered free of charge for 16-21-year-olds with ASD who will or have received the Future-Ready Core high school diploma. The program is offered across North Carolina at AB Tech, Alamance, Cape Fear, Central Piedmont, Guilford Tech, Johnston, Pitt, and Wake Tech Community Colleges.

The T-STEP was developed to support the transition to employment and post-secondary education. Participation includes skill instruction, group practice, video modeling, and role-plays. Students also receive individual career counseling, higher education counseling, and self-advocacy counseling. This program is available statewide in North Carolina.

Students participating in the T-STEP program will:

  • Receive group and individualized sessions focused on skills to support transition to adulthood.
  • Be counseled in career exploration, higher education, and self-advocacy.
  • Learn to identify skills, strengths, and supports that they can use in post-secondary and employment settings.
