Strides Day Program
Description
Strides is a full-day program focusing on independent living and job readiness. It creatively integrates core skills, including academics, communication, household management, personal growth, self-determination, technology, and work habits, into various classes based on student interests. We aim to help students develop to their greatest potential, meet individual goals, and become as independent as possible. Participants choose learning tracks with classes aligned to meet their Individual Person Plan goals. Students must attend Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. unless we support them at a local job.
