CORE Program for Adults With Developmental Disabilities

Discover HCC’s unique adult program serving students with special needs.

Adults with different abilities attending College Opportunities for Readiness Education (CORE) will be taught math and reading skills in an educational environment that seeks to improve or maintain each student’s academic level. Students will experience opportunities for learning that reflect their interests and individual needs.

Currently, our CORE program is offered online. We meet Monday through Friday from 3-4:30 p.m. via Zoom. Cost: $195 per month (includes $140 in fees). Students register each month.

Some of the objectives of the CORE program are to:
- Practice, enhance or maintain math, language and reading skills.
- Collect research on various topics including vocational options.
