STEP 1

Step 1 is a two-year comprehensive vocational, independent living, social and educational program that maximizes each young adult’s potential for living away from home. Students can be engaged in developing their career goals and/or furthering their education.

STEP 2

Step 2 is designed for students who have mastered most of the skills in Step 1 necessary to lead independent lives and with limited supports can successfully integrate into a mainstream community.
