Project SEARCH: Community Impact

There was an applicant at the Project SEARCH Skills Assessment Day who 6 years ago required a personal aide and had a code word when his behavior became uncontrollable at his previous school. Additionally, most of his conversations revolved around Disney movie scripts. After attending Unicorn Village Academy for the past 5 years, he now takes Uber to a part-time job where he recently received a raise following his performance review. At the assessment at Boca West Country Club, he was identified as the top pick by all department managers. Some of the characteristics that were shared included: self-starter, critical self-checker, best conversationalist, detail oriented, and meticulous.

Together, we are clearly opening doors to opportunities for personal growth and inclusion. Thank you for all that you do to support these efforts!
