These skills are taught within the environmental domains of:

• self-care / independent living
• recreation / leisure
• vocational and
• community access through Community Based Instruction

A strong emphasis is placed on teaching the student appropriate behaviors and on improving communication skills.  Instruction is designed to meet individual needs of each student throughout the school day, including recess and lunch periods.

Students have opportunities for interaction with their typically developing peers during assemblies, lunch, recess, physical education, and with peer tutors who work in the classrooms.  Additionally, students may be integrated into regular education classrooms for academic and social education activities.

A functional mobility component to the curriculum (M.O.V.E.) is available for students with physical disabilities to develop skills of sitting, standing, and walking while participating in their school activities.  Activities are designed to increase independence and communication.
