High School Program

Our High School program’s primary goal is INDEPENDENCE!!!

We recognize increasing independence means different things for different students: For some, independence means obtaining a job and living independently. For others, independence means being able to complete daily activities such as bathing and preparing food without relying on someone else for assistance.

We provide a variety of supports for our students to meet this goal:

•     Job skill training, both on and off site
•     A focus on “soft skills” needed to function in a working environment
•     Self-confidence
•     Interpersonal communication
•     Dress and appearance
•     Goal setting
•     Problem solving
•     Self Advocacy
•     Perspective-taking

Focus on Independent Living:

•     Food/Meal Prep
•     Functional leisure activities
•     Scheduling and time-management
•     Forming and maintaining social relationships

Our High School program has 10 classrooms with a capacity of 100 students, 3 therapy rooms for Speech and Occupational Therapy and a fully functional apartment, to be used for practicing the essential skills needed for independence: cooking and meal preparation, cleaning and organization, washing, folding, and sorting laundry.
