MICC College Program.

Picture
The three-year MICC College Program encourages the personal growth of each student through a unique and individualized process. As they participate in independent living skills curricula, career certificate programming, and social skills instruction, students gain valuable social and vocational experiences and begin to develop their own community within an ever-changing world setting. Important life skills such as grocery shopping, meal planning, personal grooming, finances, navigating public transit, and more are taught in the students’ apartments and the surrounding community. MICC teaches students a holistic approach to independence, with classes covering skills across 5 areas of competency:
  • Independent Living
  • Social/Emotional Skills
  • Vocational Readiness and Training
  • Healthy Living
  • Community Connections and Team Building
Students are assessed on their growth and mastery of skills over the course of the program, with a step-down approach to instruction, that prepares the students for a high level of independence upon completion of the program.
​
Students are referred to MICC College by Educational Consultants, school districts and transition programs, MICC families, doctors, counselors, therapists, and community members. If you know of someone who might be a wonderful candidate for our program, please contact Admissions today!
 
Students are kept active and involved with the community and one another through an active social calendar, filled with outings, electives, retreats, and opportunities to bond.
