“Oh nothin, just taking my British Lit test…maybe I shouldn’t have stayed up so late watching reruns of The Golden Girls. Dang.”
Fun Fact: Most programs have support systems in place to help create a successful learning environment for the students. For instance, several programs allow participants to audit regular classes with the general student population. Since students may have their own IEP (Individual Education Plan), the information they are graded on in these classes may differ from the rest of the class.
While students may have the chance to participate in audited classes, the reality is that they won’t graduate with a full degree, but a Certificate of Completion instead. Regardless of this fact, we believe SO strongly that these life experiences and the independence gained are invaluable. This helps them on the road to meaningful employment and more independent living… and let’s face it.
We all want and deserve that.
