Community Based Occupational Education
Community Based Occupational Education (CBOE) is a program for students between ages 14-21 with disabilities who need individualized training provided at a slower rate with repetitive reinforcement. The objective is to develop the skills needed for self-care and participation in sheltered work programs or day-habilitation. In addition, students are taught collaboration, employability, self-advocacy and independent living skills in preparation for post-secondary success.
Placement is through the student’s home district Committee on Special Education (CSE). This program is located on the main Verona campus.
