The Transitional Living Center is an apartment living program that provides an individualized program to students who have substantially completed the Life Centered Education (LCE) Program. It is a full-time 50 weeks per year, 1-2 year transitional program to assist young adults who may need additional time to implement the skills necessary for successful adulthood. The practical application of previously learned life skill education and community involvement is essential. Independent living is maximized by providing apartments conveniently located near community resources with access to employment opportunities, grocery stores, banks, restaurants, public transportation and recreational activities. The mission of TLC is to provide an independent living environment that allows young adults to experience “real life” in a safe, supportive atmosphere, including life skills support, group social skills counseling, recreational opportunities, as well as vocational guidance.
