Special Education students “age out” of the public education system when they turn 22 years of age. After that time, these individuals and their families are required to manage the services they need without help from the school district. Issues to be addressed in adulthood include housing, employment, health, social life, quality of life and more.
To help parents prepare for this role, the Social Work department of SEDOL has set up a series of field trips for parents to visit the workshops, living facilities, day programs, and camps they may find of interest. Field Trips include:
- February 15 Riverside Foundation Day and Residential Programs
- March 7 SRACLC Day and Recreation Programs
- March 15 Clearbrook Vocational Program
- Apr 13 Center for Enriched Living Day Program
- Apr 27 Shepherds College Post Secondary Training
- May 2 Glenkirk Morain CLF Semi-Indepependent Residential
