Our Life Skills Program (12:1+1) provides support for students to achieve their highest level of independence.
Students learning in this program demonstrate cognitive, speech language, motor and social emotional delays. Students will benefit from a highly structured classroom environment with a classroom management plan based on positive behavioral strategies. Explicit classroom instruction is focused on real life experiences connected to academic skills as well as functional life and pro-social skills. For high school students, secondary vocational training is included.
