GREAT Group

GREAT (Getting Ready Everyday and Transitioning)

is a program for students with disabilities ages 18–21. It teaches key skills that lead to independence, employment, success and happiness for each participant and at their individual ability. The program staff includes a certified special education teacher and an instructional assistant, and behavior intervention staff as required. Students attend an academic and functional program daily focused on skills related to the students’ post-school goals. Each day students participate in the work experience component of the program where each student works to build their own independent skills. Work and volunteer sites exist throughout the community and are fully supported by the Lewiston School District. Our goal at GREAT is to provide a variety of resources and activities in order to create a path of success and independence for students with a wide range of learning, living, and working abilities.
