Application Process:

SLLEA’s initial process involves completing a written application with assessments and interviews. Please let us know if you need help in that process.

If you're interested in joining SLLEA, we invite you to complete our Contact Us form and let us know you're interested in the program. We'll reach out with information about the application process and provide an application packet when enrollment opens.

Applications are accepted approximately every one to two years. Because we carefully match our program to students who are a good fit, the application process includes several stages that take place over an extended period of time.

Admission is competitive due to limited space. Our selection process focuses on each applicant's readiness for the program, motivation, and potential for growth—not simply their current level of independent living skills.
