ADULT
DEVELOPMENT
Where learning meets possibility. Empowering every student to thrive.
THE PROGRAM
Our Adult Development program is the educational arm of Life Styles, serving over 120 students daily at the Stensgaard building or the Blair Center. Through our Adult Development Day Treatment (ADDT) model, we offer a variety of classes under the umbrella of College for Living (CFL), the Performing Arts of Life Styles (PALS), and Art of Life Styles, plus specialized programs like Launch.
Students attend classes throughout the day, focusing on essential life skills, basic academics, recreational activities, and creative pursuits. From cooking lessons to art sessions, every class is designed to build confidence, encourage social engagement, and foster community connections.
