This center is predicated upon the usage of a two hour program that is provided to students suffering from ID after regular school hours. The impetus for the program is to stress social skills that result in training the students to manage their anger, work in groups in reference to anger management, and receive vocational training as a part of the transition from high school into adulthood. In addition, students are provided the ability to receive independent living skills, recreational activities, and the ability to learn how to use computers.
