Our summer experience for the Transition Program is designed to give teens real world experiences as an employee in a field of their interest. It’s an incredible chance for them to utilize the skills they’ve worked on during the school year such as: making their own lunches, choosing an appropriate work outfit, utilizing public transportation, and using adaptive technology – all in a supported yet challenging environment.
In between work experiences, students attend Lighthouse of SWFL for extended days and receive intensive additional instruction in areas of daily living such as using a washer and dryer, budgeting, grocery shopping and food preparation.
