What Is The Program About?
Our Everyday Academics Group helps learners develop the practical academic, social, and life skills needed for greater independence in everyday life. Using evidence-based Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) strategies and structured teaching programs, learners strengthen functional reading, writing, math, and problem-solving skills through meaningful, real-world activities.
The program combines individualized instruction with small-group learning to help learners apply academic skills to everyday situations while building confidence, independence, and social connections. By connecting academic learning to everyday situations, this program helps learners build the confidence and practical skills needed for greater independence as they prepare for adulthood.
Who Is It For?
This group is designed for teens ages 14–17 who benefit from continued academic instruction with an emphasis on functional, real-world learning. It is a good fit for learners who are developing practical academic skills while building greater independence, social communication, and daily living skills.
Learners participate in a structured small-group environment with individualized ABA instruction and support. Groups are designed for learners with similar developmental and learning goals, providing opportunities to practice new skills alongside peers while preparing for increased independence in adolescence and adulthood.
