Students graduate with an academic or a vocational diploma. Lots of us go on to college, which makes it easier for us to find work. In the girls' dorm, the youngest girls sleep upstairs and the older girls are downstairs. The boys have two separate dorms, one for the older boys and one for the younger. Each dorm has houseparents that live with the kids, and dorm aides to help out with dressing and getting ready for school.
Every dorm has a party once a month to celebrate birthdays.
There are also lots of little celebrations, and awards for good conduct, good grades, and things like that. We get very close to one another living in the dorms, almost like brothers and sisters. Our house parents are always here, and dorm aides work around the clock. If we should ever need medical attention, there's a nurse on campus. Full medical facilities are located at the Dowling Health Center a few blocks away on the ASD campus.
