STRIDES TOWARDS REACHING INDEPENDENCE VIA EDUCATION
You will find that there is a lot happening at STRIVE every day! Our students learn skills in the classroom and practice those skills at job sites and in the community.
Our garden center grows plants from seeds and cuttings. We have STRIVE students with an interest in this area participate in taking care of the plants. Laci and Jarrod are pictured watering the plants which will be available for sale in a couple of months.
We took part in the Dare to Dream Conference held at Ramapo College and presented this video to represent our STRIVE Program. Dare to Dream is a student leadership conference sponsored by NJ DOE to highlight strategies to promote self-advocacy skills for middle and high school students with disabilities.
