The Lighthouse Voc-Ed Center is a State of Connecticut approved special education
program for students ages 7-21. The program provides comprehensive educational
services for students with moderate to severe disabilities including students with
autism. Our primary goals are to improve social communication skills and provide
community based learning opportunities to foster independence. We presently service
students from 18 communities.
Our school programs are located at three sites; two are in Niantic and one is in
Groton. The programs are located in downtown areas which help facilitate community
awareness and real life learning experiences. In addition, a Transition Academy, for
students with Asperger’s Syndrome offers a residential and community based day
program. Our day school program is from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
Each school also offers a separate Extended Day Program from 2:00 until 6:00, which
provides learning opportunities for transitional goals such as vocational training, leisure
skills expansion, daily living skills, community awareness and social communication
experiences.
What makes Lighthouse Voc-Ed Center unique?
Our small quality program with well trained staff has the flexibility to adapt to each
student’s unique needs by recognizing and respecting the individual’s developmental
capabilities. Lighthouse maintains a low student to staff ratio insuring individual
success. Individual Educational Plans with specific goals and objectives direct each
student’s program. A multi sensory approach is designed to foster the development of
functional academics, life skills and independent living skills.
The Lighthouse philosophy for educating students closely reflects the TEACCH
approach (Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication handicapped
Children) in that our efforts focus on understanding the reasons for underlying
behaviors. Lighthouse utilizes positive behavior support strategies with modifications
to the environment and staffing.
