A group of four people are gathered around a kitchen counter in a home-like setting. An older woman in a white coat appears to be instructing or guiding the group, while two young adults listen attentively and one young woman prepares ingredients, including eggplant and packaged food. The background shows wooden cabinets, a refrigerator, and a window with green curtains.

Independent Living in a Supportive Environment

Lesley’s Threshold Programs are powerful offerings designed for neurodiverse learners. Residential life is a crucial component of Threshold: students learn and grow by living together in typical college residence halls. Working closely with graduate resident assistants and a resident director, these students work to develop key life skills and build their independence. It’s a safe, supportive environment where every member of the community receives the supervision and support needed to thrive.
