Launchpad Workshop Series
Strengthen Skills. Unlock Creativity. Build Confidence.
Launchpad is a summer workshop series designed for neurodiverse young adults (ages 17–21+) who are ready to build real-world skills in a supportive, individualized setting. Each workshop is a standalone, three-day intensive rooted in the same clinical framework that guides the Winston Transitions year-round program. Students walk away with concrete skills, new self-awareness, and a clear sense of what’s next.
Winston Transitions has empowered our daughter! She is engaged in self-advocacy and is involved in determining her goals and plans. — WINSTON PREP PARENT

A Model That Works
Winston Preparatory School is a national network of campuses both physical and virtual offering students with learning differences, including dyslexia, executive functioning difficulties (ADHD) and nonverbal learning disorders (NVLD), a highly individualized, holistic, and responsive education.
We view each student as a unique and individual learner who has the potential to learn. Our unique education model is based on an in-depth understanding of each student, which results in grouping by learning profile and precisely designed programming.
Winston Prep accomplishes this through its Continuous Feedback System
We continually assess how a student is responding to their skill development plan and adjust our teaching approach based on that.
