The LEOS Program

A Postsecondary Transition Program

The Life Education Occupational Studies (LEOS) program offered at the Penn State Lehigh Valley campus supports students who have intellectual disabilities and developmental delays while they gain meaningful collegiate experiences. The LEOS program combines individualized coaching sessions, group seminars, and audited academic courses to facilitate self-advocacy and independence for students. As a sister program to University Park’s Worklink and Penn State Harrisburg’s Career Studies programs, LEOS offers education and training for students to gain meaningful employment and independent living skills, while accessing classes and clubs on the Penn State Lehigh Valley campus.
