Life Skills Instruction

Person Centered-Planning

All students entering CIP begin developing their Person-Centered Plans from the start. Using a variety of multimedia, students create powerpoints outlining their short and long-term life goals in a fun, visual way.

These plans include goals for each part of their program such as advising, residential, social, academic, internship/career and personal goals. Realizing a students special interest allows for the development of realistic life goals which can be visually tracked and modified over time.
