Since 1991, the special education department, in conjunction with the Davenport School District, has held a six-week summer session for children and adolescents with mental disabilities.
Participants enhance their social skills and learn daily living skills such as riding the city bus.
They also practice navigating local restaurants, stores and recreation facilities. This year's program began June 19 and continues to July 19. Lunch is provided. Much of what happens depends on the needs of the students who come to learn new skills and practice old skills.
