Community Learning Skills (CLS) Program
Community Learning Skills (CLS) Program at Lynnwood School
The Community Learning Skills (CLS) program at Lynnwood School is designed to support students with moderate delays in most or all areas of development. These students may also have physical, sensory, medical, or behavioural disabilities that require specialized instruction and support.
Our goal is to help each student grow to their fullest potential — academically, socially, and personally — in a safe, caring, and inclusive environment.
What the CLS Program Offers:
- Individualized Programming: Each student has a personalized plan tailored to their strengths, needs, and learning goals.
- Targeted Skill Development: Focus areas include basic academics, communication skills, self-help and life skills, and social-emotional learning.
- Functional Learning: Students practice skills in real-life contexts — in the classroom, throughout the school, and in the wider community.
- Collaborative Team Support: Teachers work closely with educational assistants, therapists, and other professionals to provide comprehensive, consistent support.
Benefits for Students:
- Builds independence in daily routines and decision-making
- Enhances communication and interaction skills
- Develops confidence and self-advocacy
- Promotes a sense of belonging and community involvement
- Provides a structured and nurturing environment for growth
We believe in helping every student develop the skills they need to be as independent, confident, and engaged as possible — both now and in the future.
