CIP Bloomington

Students at CIP Bloomington pause from their usual routine of career and academic training for an afternoon of high-flying fun at the trampoline park! From flips to laughter, it was the perfect way to recharge, connect, and bounce back even stronger.

Today we join a global community in recognizing and celebrating the strengths, perspectives, and contributions of autistic individuals.

It’s a day to listen, learn, and take action championing inclusion, embracing neurodiversity, and helping build a world where everyone is empowered to thrive.

As we enter Autism Awareness Month, we’re proud to continue recognizing the strengths, talents, and meaningful connections among our students, their families, CIP staff, and community partners.

At CIP, we empower neurodiverse young adults to lead meaningful, independent lives through support in college, careers, and life skills. This month and every month, we celebrate the individuality, growth, and achievements of our incredible community. 💙
