This year, we have added some program enhancements for students in the LLD programs at RFIS and JPCASE. The RFIS Coffee Cart is run by students in Ms. Senneca's class! Each week the students prepare a menu of tasty treats and beverages to sell to staff! They appreciate the opportunity to practice social interaction, money skills, and organization/planning while bringing smiles to many faces each week!
In addition, RFIS and JPCASE students have returned to Community Based Instruction in the local community. The students have had the opportunity to go food shopping at Shop Rite, practice leisure skills while bowling, ordering food and paying at Chick-Fil-A and shopping for gifts at the Dollar Tree. The District CBI leadership team has been trained through and collaborates with Rutgers Boggs Center to further develop the CBI experience for students attending FRSD.
At JP Case, we have added an upgraded kitchenette to work on many cooking and baking skills for "Tasty Tuesday" and to assist in the growth of the coffee cart program Tiger Treats Café. The students are looking forward to the next CBI experience to COSTCO to replenish items for our coffee cart and kitchen.
In addition, Special Services has added a Sensory Suite for Copper Hill students. Our sensory space has been designed to help learners feel calm, supported and focused at different times throughout the day and as their needs arise. A variety of movement options, lighting, tactile items, crash pads, trampolines and swing, along with many other options allow each child to have their own unique experiences tailored to their needs!
