LifeTown in southeast Michigan is an AMAZING indoor city. Each visit has a lesson prepared for the students. My favorite one is the pre-planning... What will I do 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. Then unusual things happen. The banks opens late. The movie theater "breaks down". The idea is to find alternative activites while waiting or advocating for themselves by asking for a refund. They do their own banking and make doctor's appointments. They also follow traffic rules.

Here's the link to this very creative center made for special needs children and adults. You don't want to miss the TV report. You will see students in the village. I've been there many times. It's amazing.

Edited: Thanks for letting me know that the link wasn't very visible at the bottom of the post. I need to figure out how to change the color of links.
