Serving multi-handicapped children in a typical classroom environment at the Thomas A. Wildey School is a crucial part of the development of work skills in each child’s life. Classes are departmentalized into Primary, Intermediate and Senior areas. Most are made up of a maximum of 8 students to ensure the growth and successful development of the child’s learning capacity in the small classroom setting. Children are referred to the Wildey School through their local school district. As with Early Intervention, identified students receive vital services in the areas of speech, occupational and physical therapy. All classes participate in a physical development program that includes swimming. The indoor heated pool is an essential part of each student’s daily exercise routine, helping to build and strengthen muscle tone and capacity. All instruction is provided to meet individual needs and the success of each student. There are also programs within the school that promote interaction with peers from other public schools.
 Community based vocational training helps prepare for successful life after school. When in the community-based classes, the students experience work situations at various sites within the community. The transition process begins when a student reaches the age of 16. Transition is simply the moving from school experiences into adulthood. The classes focus on: age appropriate activities; training and work experiences in the classrooms and the community; integrating students with non-disabled coworkers, supervisors and customers; focusing on classroom activities, which reinforce and improve performance at community work sites; and evaluating student progress in the community.
