Serving Ages 14-22
The Victory Center’s (TVC) Victory Vocational (VV) program is a center-based program for children ages 14 to 22 whose clinical diagnosis falls along the autism spectrum or related disabilities.
The program focuses on teaching functional skills that will allow the individual to be as successful as possible when he or she transitions to adulthood.
Targeted skills include functional communication, social skills, functional academics, vocational, and daily living skills.
These skills will be taught using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis(ABA), and will include instruction in the classroom, living skills lab, and community settings in order to promote generalization.
The program offers students a variety of experiences including community-based instruction (CBI), job training, and job placements .
