The 5 Domains at the Adult Transition Program

 

Independent Daily Living Skills

The focus is on instruction and engagement in activities such as healthy grocery shopping and food preparation, laundry, money skills, personal care/hygiene, family/social life, and sexuality. These skills are crucial for students to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

 

 

 

Community Involvement

We prioritize community engagement by teaching skills such as reading and understanding street signs, using public transportation, and applying appropriate social skills in various situations, such as asking for help. Through community-based instruction, students learn to navigate their surroundings confidently and participate actively in their communities.

 

 

 

Vocational and Career Exploration

Focus is on increasing students' skill set so they are contributing adults within our society and increasing their opportunity for securing employment-meaningful work. Students will be provided instruction in job seeking skills, and job skills training as well as exploratory work experience or on-site work experiences.

 

 

Recreation and Leisure Engagement

The focus of this domain is to teach the skills to connect and engage with others in meaningful ways to improve their social skills and self-esteem so they are part of the community in which they live.
