Prospective Students

Please find our offerings listed below. Additionally, you can view our brochure online or schedule an appointment to further discuss our offerings in person.

The Integreat Core Program (ICP) will be the main offering at the Center. This full-time program will teach students life skills and vocational training over a span of two years. Upon the successful completion of this program, graduates will be awarded an Integreat Center Diploma as well as ASDAN Certification.

Integreat Core Program

The Personal Enrichment Program (PEP) will cater specifically to students who are cognitively impaired. This will be a therapeutic and sensory driven life skills development program. The focus of this program will be on practical daily living skills incorporated with stimulating activities such as arts and crafts as well as music.

Personal Enrichment Program

The Short Courses (SSC) will take place daily, following the ICP and PEP. Each module will span two weeks, and students will be free to pick and choose the modules in which they wish to enroll. These courses will focus solely on life skills. The Specialized Short Courses are ideal for students who are currently enrolled at other institutions.

Specialized Short Courses

Integreat Center hopes to establish itself as a safe place where families can find a sense of community. Families can choose to book individual and/or group counseling sessions. We will also be hosting social events at the Center. Even families whose children are not enrolled at Integreat Center will be welcome to attend these events and book sessions with our counselor.
