Community Participation

Students will spend about 50% of their time at ATLAS in the community.  It is important for students to learn how to access their community and display appropriate behavior while in the community.  Some topics of instruction include:

·        Responsibility and safety

·        Communication and interpersonal skills

·        Engaging in community events

·        Accessing businesses, programs, transportation and resources

·        Mobility

·        Self-advocacy

·        Citizenship

Students also have a YMCA membership while attending ATLAS
