Needs
残疾学生经常因为执行能力的问题而辍学, self-determination, 并适应作为一个年轻人所带来的所有变化, independent adult. Students who have received special education services in high school have a higher probability of success in college-level programs and classes if they have extra support services that go beyond accommodations.

Solution
为了满足这一需求，正规买足球的App正在创建一个名为BRIDGES U (BU)的新试点项目。.

Goal
BRIDGES U的目标是为18-21岁的成人特殊教育学生提供额外的支持, have not graduated yet, 想上两年制大学并取得成功, 你愿意参加学校的活动和俱乐部吗, and also want to work/volunteer.

How it Works
The student is dually enrolled in Seattle Public Schools and one of the local Seattle Colleges (North Seattle, Seattle Central, South Seattle, or Seattle Vocational Institute). The student goes through the college admissions and registration process like any other student and has access to Disability Support Services (DSS) through the college. Each student in BRIDGES U is assigned to a Seattle Public Schools certified special education teacher who acts as the student’s IEP case manager.  BU老师提供专门设计的教学, guidance, support, 以及与大学活动和俱乐部的联系. However, 学生和老师之间的直接接触可能不像在高中那样频繁.  ORCA cards are provided. Students are expected to demonstrate the maturity to learn and have the skills to succeed at the college level. 大学课程不是为学生修改的.  如果学生需要住宿，他们会与学院的残疾支持服务办公室合作.  学生们也想工作/做志愿者，成为大学生活的一部分. 父母应该给予支持, 但也需要让他们的年轻人独立度过大学和工作. 

Costs
成人学生负责所有学杂费、书本费、材料费等. However, the IEP case manager will help the student navigate and access the financial aid options available through the college and other funding sources.  如果学生参加了第13年承诺奖学金计划, 他们需要毕业才能获得第13年的承诺奖学金.  这意味着他们没有资格参加波士顿大学的项目，因为他们已经毕业了.
