F.I.T.T. Curriculum

Our F.I.T.T program utilizes the Council for Exceptional Children- Life Centered Education ( LCE) Curriculum that provides an in depth and comprehensive curriculum with differentiated lesson plans and objectives. In addition, our curriculum integrates supplemental materials and technology into learning which offers online components that allow our staff to track and monitor student progress.

Through the LCE Curriculum the following four critical domains of adult living are targeted: Daily Living Skills, Self Determination/Interpersonal Skills, Employment Skills, and Community Awareness. Each domain is broken down into competencies and sub-competencies with targeted objectives and lessons to build success. Through these domains our students are equipped with the skills necessary to be independent adults living in the 21st century.

• Employment Skills - Opens the door to employment possibilities and choices for our students in the 21st century, by teaching them appropriate work habits, how to seek and maintain employment, physical/manual skills, and specific job competencies.
• Community Awareness - Teaches our students how to navigate through the community safely, while developing social awareness and exhibiting responsible citizenship. In addition this domain addresses the skills necessary to effectively utilize recreational facilities, engage in leisure, and access different modalities of transportation.
