We work extremely hard to help our students become as independent as possible. We want them to be self-determined individuals that are productive, and positive members of their community. We want their future to be theirs, not what others tell them it must be.
This site is to inform parents, students, staff, and others about what we do on a daily basis. It is to act as a resource for others and hopefully motivate them to expand their vision of what our students CAN do.
Our #1 goal as a program is: to help students as individuals become as independent as possible. To that end, we work on:
We want the students to understand their disability- not as a negative, but as a way of understanding how they learn best, what they need to help them, and what their limitations are. We work very hard on the above topics so that students are self-aware and are the ones in control of their future.
Student-Centered Planning- taking into account the students' wants and needs- using this as the driving force for not only their IEP, but their daily education.
