Intellectual Disabilities (ID) Program
The Intellectual Disabilities program offers classes and new certificates designed especially for students with lower cognitive skills, i.e., students who exhibit below-average intellectual functioning and a potential for measurable achievement in an instructional or employment setting. The ID program has classes for students with mild to moderate ID and some classes for those individuals with more severe to profound ID. The majority of classes are non-credit and are free.
The ID program serves two specific areas of the community:
- Fairview Developmental Center, which is a large residential, state-run facility for individuals with severe to profound ID. See more information under Fairview Developmental Center.
- The community ID program serves students who reside and/or work in the community, in group homes, private homes, day programs, workshops, etc. This group is primarily mild to moderate ID. Classes are offered in a variety of cities, including south Orange County. See more information under "Where are classes located," the "Fall 2010, Spring 2011, Summer 2011 Classes" and "Vocational Certificate."
A learner with Intellectual Disabilities is a student who exhibits below-average intellectual functioning and a potential for measurable achievement in instructional or employment settings.
