Electives
The development of appropriate social skills is the focus of our elective program. During this therapeutic period, which is supervised by our clinical team, students earn elective academic credit while participating in high-interest leisure and life skills activities.
Homework
The primary focus of instruction is on classroom participation and in-class assignments. To meet the needs of individual students, homework may be assigned. Particularly, for students who are preparing for return to their district school, homework may be a key part of that transition.
