Program Name:
ACCESS
Description:
The ACCESS program is a structured work study transition service that utilizes community-based instruction for neurodiverse 18-22 year old students who have met graduate requirements and elect to defer their standard diploma using the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) process. The ACCESS class uses curricula that focus on increasing each student’s independence in the areas of employment, daily living, money skills, transportation and social communication skills. The program provides students with a variety of job training opportunities that help them to determine their strengths, interests, and needs. Much of the work is focused on improving the social skills and soft skills necessary to be a positive team member and increasing student’s understanding of the employer’s expectations. Staff works to decrease reliance from staff/family and increase the student’s own level of independence. Through this process the ACCESS staff help to develop the self-determination skills needed to gain and maintain employment as well as help the student to discover how to become an active member of their community
