About LIFE...The MHS Transition Program
The focus of our lessons will move towards helping your young adult improve their functional, vocational, social/communication, leisure and independent living skills. This means math will be tied to things like money or cooking, reading will be tied to things like utility bills or recipes, writing will be tied to things like job applications, and so on.
Once a week, we typically go out into the community to practice shopping etiquette, finding items on a shopping list, making transactions, and more! If we have a cooking lesson, we will shop for supplies. One Friday per month, we will have a bigger trip that will require us to be off campus for a longer period. I will let you know ahead of time what the trip is and if students will need money.
A portion of our lessons focus on career awareness and job skills. Three days per week, we participate in community work experience. In addition to this, we participate in classroom jobs and on/off campus jobs to practice hands on skills. We also have access to the PAES lab where we can practice life & job skills in a structured setting.
