------------------------------------------------
The Threshold Program is a comprehensive, non-degree, campus-based program
at Lesley University for highly motivated young adults with diverse
learning disabilities and other special needs. All are clearly interested
in careers in one of our vocational fields of study and all have a strong
desire to become independent adults. Threshold students are high school
graduates who typically have received extensive special services in either
private or public schools, yet each would likely have considerable
difficulty succeeding in a traditional college degree program. Threshold's
Two-Year Program accommodates about fifty students each year. Most
participants generally attain scores below the average range on specific
standardized tests of intellectual ability. Reading and writing skills
typically range from the fourth to seventh grade level; often math skills
tend to be at somewhat lower levels. Most graduates then participate in one
of Threshold's two post-graduate programs: Transition Year provides
continuing support as students enter the work world and live in apartments;
Bridge offers another year of skill building on campus. For more
