Through real-life experience, students will develop transferable skills for acquiring and maintaining employment. Students will participate in life's activities independently or with accommodations across a variety of settings. The expectation is that students with disabilities will live, work, shop, and enjoy free time in integrated, natural environments- utilizing skills learned through Digitability's curriculum within the community. Students are partnering with several local businesses such as Top Golf, Chick Fil A, and Walgreens to practice these skills in real work environments.
About the Digitability Work Simulation Program
Digitability believes that skills are best learned through real-world experience and application. That’s why Digitability created the Work Simulation Program: a complete curriculum that teaches work-ready skills in a hands-on way you won’t find anywhere else.
After choosing their classroom’s Work Simulation project, students are “hired” for jobs and begin practicing workplace behavior, managing tasks, using tech skills for independence, self-advocating, self-regulating and more.
Digitability Work Simulations include Bankability, a virtual banking and workplace behavior program where students earn virtual dollars when they exhibit behaviors that will make them successful in the workplace and increase their independence. Using those dollars earned, students experience a modern banking app while learning the fundamentals of budgeting concepts such as earning, spending, and saving.
