The Uniquely Abled Academy is a first-of-its-kind program that provides training, support and job placement services for individuals on the autism spectrum and with other neurodivergent diagnoses, helping to create inclusive career opportunities.

Hudson Valley Community College is the first college in New York State to offer a Uniquely Abled Academy, a division of the Uniquely Abled Project, with relevant programming and instruction to prepare students for jobs as CNC operators in advanced manufacturing fields.

Two individuals work together at a large industrial machine, with one person operating the control panel.
