花园之路
The 花园之路 (GSP) Program is a post-secondary, transitional program sponsored by 全球赌博十大网站 in Blackwood, New Jersey and designed for students with intellectual/cognitive disabilities. The program serves students 18 to 24 years old who are eligible for or received IDEA funding and are interested in learning a work-related skill, as well as enhancing their independence with life skills.
For students who prefer to remain under the IDEA entitlement until 年龄 21, they may enter the program after meeting all high school requirements, despite not having accepted their official diploma. The Program will continue to meet the needs of students based on their personal needs and the implementation of a 504 plan. The high school develops and tracks all needs based in an Individualized Education Plan document. Upon completion of the 花园之路 program, students receive a high school diploma from their school district. This is an option for 学区 and students who find the 花园之路 program to better meet their needs than a traditional high school based transition program.
Students take classes in socialization, financial literacy, life skills and their personal interest. Students are required to spend time developing their skills in a career interest that will enhance their employability. After completing all required courses and work experiences in this two-year program, students receive a certificate of Postsecondary Studies (CPS) from 全球赌博十大网站.
Students are encour年龄d to integrate into College life through various on-campus, social activities such as the Spring Fling, 欢迎回来烧烤, various clubs as well as educational lectures outside of the typical classroom.
Students pay for the program with funding provided from different sources such as parents, 学区, 财政援助. This program is focused on providing services to students who require an alternative to a traditional college education and will benefit from a smaller, vocationally-focused结构.
