Working Towards Acceptance, Vocational Aptitude, Empowerment & Self-Determination
OUR MISSION: Supporting Pathways to Independence
We are a program serving students with special needs ages 18-26 who reside in the Walled Lake School District. Our program focuses on increasing independence through teaching functional academics, vocational training, daily living skills, communication skills and social emotional learning. The ATP program is committed to an empathic understanding of EVERY student in our care. We believe all students can learn and grow. Our goal is for students to maximize their full potential, have a full meaningful life and to be active members of their community.
