St. John Fisher University

A Partnership between the Webster Central School District and St. John Fisher University

Since the 2009-2010 academic year, young adults from the Webster Central School District have attended this program.

Mission:

To assist young adults with disabilities in strengthening their daily living, social/personal, and occupational skills. This skill development supports the young adults' transition to living as independently as possible in their communities. Each student shares individualized dreams, identifies skills needed to reach the dreams, and creates a goal plan for achieving them. This goal plan becomes each student's curriculum and is carried out in the program on the Fisher campus and in the community.
