Join Our Inclusive Community!
The Social Achievement in Learning (SAIL) program is designed for academically capable students with neurodiverse profiles who benefit from individualized support to reach their full potential in a college environment. SAIL-appropriate students thrive when provided with social coaching, transitional assistance, self-advocacy support, and sensory-friendly housing. Our students often have diagnoses of ASD, non-verbal learning disorder, social-pragmatic language disorder, and/or co-occurring diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, and executive functioning challenges, or self-report a demonstrated need for social supports.
The SAIL team includes a Speech Language Pathologist and a Wellness Coordinator, along with Community Directors with specialized training in students’ social, behavioral and organizational needs.
SAIL is for full-time, undergraduate students who have already been accepted to Curry College and benefit from assistance:
Understanding social cues or nonverbal communication
Understanding the point of view of others
Initiating communication and self-advocacy skills
Understanding abstract language
Sensory processing
Planning, sequence, and completing academic work
Socializing with peers
SAIL is NOT meant for students who require behavior interventions and/or are unable to perform daily living skills independently.

PLEASE NOTE: Interested students need to complete an interview along with submitting the SAIL application. SAIL students are also eligible to apply for the
