L.I.F.E. Program Overview

Home » L.I.F.E. Program Overview

The Atlantis Academy LIFE Programs (Living Independently with Fundamental Experiences) in Miami and Coral Springs teaches young adults with autism spectrum and related disabilities, the necessary skills they need to live a more independent life both in the home and in the workplace. The LIFE Program is an intensive, post-secondary program to help young adults bridge the gap between school and employment. Our educational model blends classroom instruction, work experience, and social enrichment opportunities to help equip our students for the real world.

Services include the following types of skill development and training:

ASPIRE Work Experience

Students gain relevant work experience through our partnership with Baptist Health’s ASPIRE Program. Each L.I.F.E. student in the program is assigned a Job Experience Training Coach and receives specialized on-site training, skill-building opportunities, job shadowing and workplace etiquette lessons. Every student learns to complete his or her work assignment accurately, efficiently and safely. Students are placed in various departments including both patient-facing and administrative support services throughout the Baptist system, including Doctors Hospital, West Kendall Baptist Hospital, The Miami Cancer Institute and The Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute in Coral Gables.
