The Intent of Work Experience
Work Experience should be conducted with an eye on the future of employability for Our students. Work experience is more than learning a specific work task. Students may be placed on a work site for issues and needs related to the development of social skills or other behavioral issues. The work experience gives the student an opportunity to practice social skills, functional academic skills, and communication, motor skills in different environments. A student’s performance on a particular job task may be slow or sporadic, and the “job” or task assigned may be beyond the student’s capabilities. However, the goals are documented and addressed. We must strive for improvement in the goal areas and increasing student independence and transition from High School to adulthood.
