ECC Life
The ECC Life program serves young adults aged 22 to 30 years old. ECC Life is a transitional program designed with Community-Based Instruction and Personal Education Plan (PEP) with a three-year goal for attendance to support vocational and life-skill training. The program allows students to work, shop, play, and socialize in integrated environments, participating independently or with accommodation.
Our Community-Based Instruction (CBI) approach aims to enhance independence and social interactions. This collaborative effort involves students, educators, and families, with crucial input from parents and guardians. Our CBI approach aligns with each student's PEP by addressing their specific needs, learning domains, life skills, and family priorities. The ECC Life program features vital life-skill training including:
