Our Social Participation Services (SP) class is designed to enable an adult who is experiencing adjustment difficulties of a psychological, intellectual, social or physical nature to gain access to individualized learning that fosters the acquisition of basic skills to prepare him/her for an active role in society and, where applicable, the pursuit of further studies.
Our program promotes student individuality while encouraging teamwork to build skills and abilities. All students are encouraged to participate in work placement activities to practice the skills they have acquired in the program. Classes run four (4) days per week with one day of field experience outside the center.
