ELP Transition

The ELP (Exploring, Learning, and Participating) Transition Program is one of the transition programs housed at Laremont School. This program is a continuation of the ELP program and provides services for students 18-22. The ELP Transition Program provides a highly individualized environment for those with complex needs, including access to intensive therapeutic services, assistive technology, and adaptive equipment.

ELP is one of three specialized programs within the Transition Center at Laremont School. Designed for students ages 18-22, the ELP classrooms provide a highly individualized environment for those with complex needs, including access to intensive therapeutic services, assistive technology, and adaptive equipment. These classrooms also have a smaller staff to student ratio. 

At the Transition Center, students focus on transition goals and postsecondary objectives through hands-on learning in diverse spaces, including a market prep area, vocational room, mock apartment, sensory room, gym, and various electives. The curriculum emphasizes independent living, communication, emotional regulation, functional academics, and employment skills, preparing students for successful adult life. The Transition Center currently includes eight classrooms, each tailored to foster these critical skills.

Additionally, students in the ELP transition program benefit from increased community-based learning opportunities. Each week, students have opportunities to engage in curriculum-based instruction that reinforces their transition goals. With a strong emphasis on employment skills, ELP students participate in meaningful job experiences, both within the school and at various off-campus sites, providing them with practical work experience in real-world settings.
