Throughout every school day, learning concepts are transformed into practical attainment of basic skills and achievements. Self-sufficiency and life skills development are achieved through guided shopping experiences, visits to department stores and community experiences, (i.e., To the library, to the post office). Self-care skills and independence are acquired through classroom activities that include vacuuming, dressing skills, setting the table and assisting in meal preparation. Social development and interaction is encouraged through extracurricular group activities, instructional peer play and periodic recreational experiences.
