The ultimate goal of educational services for all students is to maximize
their participation in all aspects of society.
Students who are not pursuing a high school diploma frequently have
difficulty in generalizing learning to specific situations. Training
students in life skills and functional applications of the general
curriculum necessitates the implementation of a program where students learn
to master objectives in multiple settings such as school, work, home and the
community to acquire, maintain, and generalize skills necessary for
application in these environments.
