Preparing for fully included lives
Life Prep is a three year higher education program for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The goal of the program is to prepare students to gain competitive employment and to live as independently as possible. Students receive intensive vocational training in the fields of Culinary Arts/Hospitality and Horticulture. Direct teaching and supervision begins in a dormitory setting with support being minimized as skills are gained. In year three, students live in an apartment and work in an internship, with support provided as needed.
