Learning to ride Public Transportation
The closer individuals get to graduation and plan for work in the community, the question
that comes up is "how will I get there?" Riding the public transportation, CATS, is something that we work on, here at program. The individuals learn how to ride the bus and the necessary steps it takes to get to and from different locations around the county.
By the time graduation approaches, most individuals can ride the bus by themselves and will be able to navigate around the county. The individuals have a sense of ful-fillment once they have mastered riding the CATS bus. This confidence boost will continue on in other aspects of their lives.
