Meliora Academy Fundraiser

Our transition services are provided in a wing of our building dedicated to providing programming to meet the transitional needs of our students. We provide our students with opportunities to participate in activities in themed rooms that mimic settings that our students may frequent as adults. Our goal is to provide programming to enhance the ability of our students to secure employment and live as independently as possible. In this school-within-a-school, students learn functional academics and communication skills as well as employment self-care, leisure, and independent living skills. Our students participate in a variety of job training opportunities in the classroom and in simulated vocational and community settings. We designed a school store, a hotel/apartment room, a vocational/industry training room and a student business office. Students participate in activities in these settings based on their individualized IEP goals and objectives. Once trained, students are able to work for local organizations and businesses based on our ongoing development of community and business partnerships.
