Students who participate in the Skills for Adult Independent Living (SAIL) program each have individual goals developed by a team and identified in an Individual Education Program (IEP). Educational activities focus on employment and job training, community involvement, mobility, safety, daily living skills, academics, health, recreation, leisure and social communication skills.
Ingham ISD partners with local businesses and organizations to expand student skills and provide job training through volunteer, non-paid and/or paid positions. This further enhances the learning that happens in the classroom. The SAIL program also facilitates connections to agencies and community resources that can provide support services.
- Classroom - Focus on daily living skills, functional academics, fitness, self-care, health and social skills.
- Community Experience - Explore recreation and leisure opportunities, community safety, shopping and money skills.
- Work Experience - Participate in a variety of employment opportunities to gain universal work skills.
Currently, the Ingham ISD SAIL program has 10 - 15 students per classroom on average and 3 classrooms in total. 1 classroom located at Waverly High School and 2 classrooms located at the Wilson Talent Center. If you have a student interested in these programs, students and their families will need to work with their local school districts through the IEP process. Local districts will then reach out to the Ingham ISD transition staff to help facilitate the potential move.
