LifeTown Lessons for Life

Mission Statement

LifeTown is a simulated city where children with special needs will come to learn and practice life skills in a realistic and supportive environment. The LifeTown village has a real bank so children can interact with a bank teller, withdraw money and enjoy a sense of responsibility as they manage their own accounts. Additionally, LifeTown will features a real doctor's office, dentist's office, pet store, library, movie theater, hair salon, concession shop and park. Through role-play, the children will develop vital skills, such as completing a job application, interviewing for a job, learning about teamwork and socialization, and, best of all, being inspired by the safe, warm, loving atmosphere. Lif Town 's realistic "cityscape" increases independence, self-confidence, and self-determination.
