The OLS-Venture program at Bellevue College is an accredited associate degree program for students with intellectual disabilities. At this time we have 50 students enrolled and many of our students have Asperger’s syndrome. This program is for various disabilities, but it is an option that many people with Asperger's might want to explore.
