Vocational Rehabilitation Center

In this wing of the Adult Training Facility on the Sewickley campus, eight separate rooms are devoted to increasing basic skills in the social, cognitive and vocational areas.

Focus of activities:

• sensory motor skills,
• cause and effect relationships and
• response to stimulation.

With one teacher providing instruction for every two rooms, a series of individualized activities are specially designed to promote independence and self-esteem.

Each participant is able to work at his/her own pace and is given continuous praise and reassurance. Skills learned at the Vocational Rehab Center are reinforced throughout the day and are later carried into the home environment for meaningful, practical application.
