Social Programs

The Succeeding in School and Life Program offers monthly social programming to support students’ overall wellness. We understand that learning is not isolated from social development. Our social connections with others are critical in being able to apply new skills and successfully navigate unfamiliar situations. This unique social program designed for teens through age 21, empowers young people with varying abilities to acquire the skills they need for positive social experiences that will transfer to other parts of their lives.

The Succeeding in School and Life’s Teen-to-Transition age social programs are designed to build leadership, self-advocacy, self-confidence, and healthy habits for self-care in youth with varying abilities. Through engaging activities, our program provides the opportunity to make authentic social connections among peers. Each month while having fun, we weave in topics, discussions, and themes that youth with varying abilities encounter in less structured environments outside of the home.

Our goal is to support the social and emotional growth of young people with varying abilities. Participation in this group will support self-advocacy as members develop the social confidence to effectively navigate various situations, apply new skills and develop leadership that will positively impact their community.
