Navigating the Social Scene: Restaurants, Movies and More

Port View Preparatory excels in community integration training, fostering independence and social skills in individuals. This comprehensive program extends beyond the traditional school walls, encompassing restaurants, stores, movie theaters, recreation centers, and more. Students actively engage in real-world scenarios, practicing essential life skills within a supportive environment. Through hands-on experiences, they learn to navigate diverse settings, make informed choices, and interact confidently with the community. This holistic approach empowers individuals with a spectrum of abilities to seamlessly integrate into various social settings, promoting a sense of inclusion and self-sufficiency.

The Port View Prep team is dedicated to taking instruction outside the classroom and therapy space in order to expose students to everyday situations and venues like restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, museums and other local community shops, entertainment and attractions to help socially integrate them through supervised interaction. Isolation and avoidance only leads to increased dependence on parents and caregivers. Inclusion and living as independently as possible is the ultimate goal of Port View Prep’s community integration training.
