My students with severe autism, like all individuals, have unique characteristics and experiences. However, there are some common challenges and struggles that our students with severe autism may face. Many of our students have limited or no verbal communication skills and may struggle to express their needs, feelings, or thoughts through spoken language. LifeTown is a place where students of all abilities and backgrounds come together. Students can gain confidence and self-esteem, practice life skills and build friendships through engaging, creative, educational, and social programming. Individuals with special needs can interact with their typically developing peers, promoting inclusivity and teaching students the value of diversity. This exposure helps reduce stigmatization and encourages empathy and understanding. Moreover, LifeTown is a unique and innovative facility designed to provide a wide range of educational and experiential opportunities for students.
