The Success for Occupational Area Readiness (SOAR) program offers an opportunity for students with an intellectual disability to become certified in one of six offered programs. Eligible, chosen SOAR students will receive a scholarship that will cover tuition and books for either part-time or full-time enrollment. SOAR students need to be proficient in reading and writing, possess adequate daily living skills, be able to navigate Lively campus and work with effectively others.
SOAR students will be assigned a mentor that will aid in organization, planning, tutoring, as well as other components of academics (as needed). Accommodations will be provided based on the need of the SOAR student, yet all students will be held to the same academic standard for certification requirements. This is a full inclusion program where SOAR students will participate with their non-disabled peers 100% of the time.
