Maximizing Out of School Time (MOST)
Funded by the Children’s Services Council of Broward, MOST provides year-round services for children ages 5–12 who experience deafness or hearing loss. The program provides a remarkable and visually engaging, active, and enriching environment for the children. Community service plans include multi-generational activities with older adults in a nearby assisted living facility. High-quality and enriching activities expose children to art and culture, music, science, and community service while boosting academic achievement, supporting social and physical development, and strengthening children’s relationships with adults and peers within their families, schools, and communities. A sliding scale fee is used to determine the program cost.
MOST students and staff contributed their recyclable items and made a "recyclable town" in their STEAM class.
Supported Training and Employment Program (STEP)
Funded by the Children's Services Council of Broward, it is a cutting-edge initiative that
prepares teens with disabilities for independence after high school completion. STEP
operates after-school and during the summer months, focusing on independent living
skills with vocational exploration activities, volunteer internship opportunities, and
provides paid summer employment supported by on-site professional job coaches.
Services offered through STEP include: case management, career counseling, life skills
training, community service activities, leadership development, prevention education,
transition planning, as well as supported summer-work experiences with local employers.
