Steady support for college, and the life ahead.
Baywindy is a year-round transition program for young adults ages 18 and up with autism, ADHD, and other learning differences who are attending Bay Area colleges, universities, and technical schools.
Planning for college completion and beyond
College asks a lot more than coursework. It asks students to manage time, speak up for themselves, cook, keep appointments, and make friends, often all at once.
Baywindy provides strategic planning, academic coaching, and executive functioning support built around each student’s semester requirements. We help with academic planning, choosing a major and courses, and managing coursework, all broken down into the clear structure and step-by-step detail that many autistic students need to do their best work. We encourage students to get involved and build communities of their own.
We also coordinate healthcare and diet, support daily routines such as hygiene and physical activity with regular prompting and encouragement, help students explore internships, and find the community resources that move them toward their goals.
Four areas of coaching
Every student’s plan is individual, and each one is tied together by executive functioning support: planning, organization, and flexibility. Together, we help you find your communities.
Independent living
Hands-on practice with meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, cleaning, budgeting, and getting around.
Academics
One-on-one and small-group tutoring, supervised study halls, note-taking help, and assignment planning that prevents cramming and burnout, plus project planning so work is delivered on time.
Career development
Job exploration and opportunity searches, resume building, interview practice, and supported internships or job placement.
Social skills
Small groups and community activities for practicing conversation, reading social cues, building friendships, and joining in.
We work to widen each student’s world: new skills, new friends, and a real place in the community.
Baywindy encourages students to take part in social, academic, and sports activities with their peers. Learning alongside others builds confidence, and confidence builds the kind of acceptance and belonging that lasts well past graduation.
Help is never far away. Students and families have 24-hour, on-call access to our team.
Explore all servicesSpecialized in ASD and ADHD
Our coaching is designed specifically for autistic students and students with ADHD, not adapted from a general program.
That means clear expectations, predictable routines, step-by-step breakdowns of big tasks, and close attention to executive functioning and sensory needs. We also advocate alongside students and families, plan strategically for the years ahead, and encourage learning that continues long after graduation.
