Transitioning into higher education can be a thrilling yet daunting experience, especially for students with diverse learning needs. However, if you plan on attending The University of Arizona or considering colleges with solid support systems.
The Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques (SALT) Center at the University of Arizona offers comprehensive support tailored to your unique strengths and challenges.
Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a dynamic VLOG session with Brittany Cortinas from the SALT Center, where we delved into the invaluable services they provide, the ideal candidate for their program, and tips for a seamless transition into college life.

Who's the Ideal Candidate?

If you're motivated to excel academically but could benefit from personalized support and strategies, then the SALT Center might be your perfect ally.
