LIFE SKILLS

 

The Life Skills program is designed to meet the individual needs of students with disabilities. Through the use of a functional community based curriculum, students are provided with the educational and social experiences that are directed toward increasing personal growth and independence.

Combined with the opportunity to be included in typical classes and school events, students learn life long skills that are integral components of major life domains. With primary, intermediate, and secondary level classes, the life skills program serves students from the ages of five to twenty one.

Staff working in the life skills program are dedicated to providing excellent educational opportunities and quality services to students throughout Woodford County. To know more about how the life skills program can benefit your child, please contact the Woodford County Special Education Association.
