EDUCATIONAL

Members spend half of their day in work training, an internship, paid employment or college classes.

​

The other half of the students’ day consists of individual instruction and small group classes focusing on a pragmatic curriculum rich in real life application. The individual instruction and small classes include such courses as: 

​

Educational Seminar Modules

Social Psychology 

Vocational Seminar 

Relationships/Peer Resolution

Community Based Outdoor Education

Financial Planning

​

Giant Step is an ideal alternative for academically able young adults who have challenges that compromise their ability to live on a college campus. While living in a supportive environment that promotes growth in the area of executive functioning and social skills, a post-secondary student attending a local college/vocational technical training  receives academic and social supports to maximize success.

Giant Step maintains a cooperative relationship with BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) to provide technical and certificate programs for students who want to pursue specific career training.
