(Virtual) Classroom

Whether you choose group classes, individual classes, or both, the focus of Open the Lid's Empowerment Classes are live Zoom classes. During class, participants have the opportunity to discuss their goals, ask questions, share breakthroughs, and get input from the group or teacher. We reinforce concepts and create opportunities for more individualized reflection in the workbooks. 
The workbooks act like homework and give you the opportunity to put what you learn into practice. 
The bonus videos, created to accompany the workbook, are designed to make content more accessible to hesitant readers or auditory learners. 
Students still benefit from the live classes even if they choose not to do the workbooks or bonus videos. However, they will understand the concepts more deeply with this additional independent practice.

These Classes are: 

  • Open to the public
  • Listed on Craigslist and Facebook
  • Not community hab
  • Not respite
  • Not therapy 

Classes are open to the public & can be reimbursed through OPWDD & NJDDD funding as a community class for individuals with public funding.
