“These students are part of the Life Skills Program; that’s the program in the public school system that supports students with disabilities,” Addabbo said. “The school system has programs to support these kids’ educational, social and life skills needs. Where our program comes in is we provide recreation, and the outdoor skills. In this case, learning how to ski.”
