School-To-Work

Schoharie County ARC's School-to-Work Day Habilitation is a "without walls" program for young adults who have transitioned out-of-school. New experiences, challenges and responsibilities increase independence and social interactions as individuals learn more about the world around them, and perhaps prepare for the world of work. 

Using a person-centered approach, individualized service planning is based on a personalized assessment of each person's strength and preferences, and regular evaluation of each participant's personal, emotional social and intellectual needs. Participants desiring to further develop their abilities are offered a variety of community-based experiences and may focus on. 

• Mobility Training

• Developing socially appropriate behaviors

• Communication Skills

• Patterns of Living 

• Health Care Skills

• Money Management

• Social Activities

• Health-Related Activities

• Select Recreational Activities
  

The School to Work Program is designed to be flexible, and its services are provided in the most natural setting for the individual to gain the most benefit. These services can also be combined with other services or in preparation for other services such as Supported Employment.
