Overview:

In order to meet the needs of a wider range of learners, we have expanded Inclusion Services to include a Learner Specific Pathway (LSP). This pathway primarily serves individuals with mild to moderate cognitive and developmental profiles. It is a highly personalized curriculum designed to maximize opportunities for students to participate with their general education peers and to be valued members of the AISJ community. The student program includes academic, life, social, and vocational skills that will enable students to fulfill their personal academic goals to become as independent as possible. This will include futures (transition) planning as a key aspect of helping students to be prepared for postsecondary life.
