SWEP:
Central SWEP focuses on providing instruction to high school age students who are between 14 – 21 years old. Students typically are mildly to moderately disabled. SWEP (Secondary Work Experience Program) follows a functional curriculum designed to support students as they develop self-determination skills and independent living skills. Our goal is to help each student to participate as independently as possible in his/her own community.
SWEP includes our training site called The Diner. Students at SWEP have the opportunity to receive training on-campus through various positions in The Diner. These training sites assist in the transition to employment in the community. Central SWEP blends work, classroom activities and community instruction to create the framework of the program. Imbedded in all three major areas is the concept of self-advocacy.
