The Essential Life Skills Program
It will serve youngsters of under 35 age during the summer season. This program is structured to enhance the ongoing development of youngsters toward the ultimate goal of independence, productivity, and self-determination. This program is committed to provide a positive learning environment through a cooperative instructional partnership of family, school, and community (specifically with the adult community agencies that will be part of the students' services when they exit the educational environment). This partnership supports the Educational Team as it assists the student and family in transitioning to the chosen post-secondary environment.
