Other classes include discussion and activities regarding appropriate behavior at work and provide opportunities to address specific problems students may be having on the job. This program gives students initial exposure to work in the community and allows for exploration in several vocational areas. Students are employed as a team of 2 to 6 individuals who work for 1 - 4 hours per day. Students are encouraged to get outside opinions and assistance from their families, social workers, rehabilitation counselors and advocates. They are also given training in self advocacy skills.
Students are in an age appropriate adult setting with access to all vocational programs and classes.
Additional classroom and office space is leased in an office building near one of the campuses. Students also have the opportunity to increase independent living skills in accessible apartments in a nearby complex. In addition, county and social services are involved with the program as students access their services and continue to use them after they leave school. This required additional services from the staff. Because of frequent change the staff and administration must be flexible, independent and open to new ideas.
