Collaborate: We’re a team! We operate in four different domains (academic, career development, social skills, and independent living), but we engage in regular communication, problem solving, brainstorming, and cross-curricular planning. We are dedicated to building an inclusive team that sustains a welcoming community for sharing our diverse perspectives and strengths.
