Adults with Disabilities
The Adults with Disabilities program is composed of three unique programs, and a workplace skills class, serving the needs of adults with disabilities.
All our programs strive to prepare students for the highest level of personal independence possible including the least restrictive living environment, volunteer and/or paid employment, establishment of healthy relationships, and the pursuance of personal growth and development. This is achieved through establishing individual student goals that are measurable and evaluated on a consistent basis with the support and assistance of instructional staff.
