Isalt youth services

 High school represents a critical stage of development, where students are learning to discover and express their independent voices. For students with disabilities, this journey can present additional challenges. At iSALT, our instructors are dedicated to fostering both academic growth and emotional intelligence, helping students build self-awareness by identifying their unique interests, strengths, and skills, while also recognizing the role of accommodations, the impact of their disability, and their long-term goals.

Through targeted instruction, students not only gain knowledge of their individual rights and strategies for effective self-advocacy, but they also strengthen essential soft skills such as communication, problem-solving, adaptability, and collaboration. By practicing empathy, self-regulation, and responsible decision-making, students develop the confidence to clearly and assertively communicate their needs in both school and workplace settings.

Ultimately, iSALT prepares students with the tools, habits, and mindset necessary to pursue independence, self-sufficiency, and lifelong success beyond high school.

 iSALT partners with schools to deliver high-quality Pre-ETS support services designed to enhance both academic and personal development. Our instructors collaborate with educators to create a positive and inclusive learning environment that fosters independence, ingenuity, and resilience. In addition to reinforcing academic skills in areas where students may experience challenges, our instructors integrate instruction in emotional intelligence and soft skills—such as self-awareness, communication, adaptability, and problem-solving—into daily learning experiences.

By nurturing these essential life skills alongside academics, students are equipped to better manage emotions, build meaningful relationships, and navigate challenges with confidence. The ultimate goal is to accelerate each student’s growth and prepare them for long-term success in school, the workplace, and life.

 iSALT provides comprehensive Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) designed to prepare students for success in both the workplace and in life. Our services include Job Exploration, Workplace Readiness, Self-Advocacy, Postsecondary Training and Education, and Work-Based Learning. Each area is structured to not only build technical skills, but also strengthen critical emotional intelligence and soft skills such as communication, adaptability, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Through guided instruction, mentorship, and hands-on experiences, students are supported in identifying their strengths, developing confidence, and practicing independence. While the ultimate goal is paid employment, students also gain meaningful exposure through internships, workplace tours, and other structured opportunities that broaden their understanding of career pathways.

With iSALT, students are empowered to take ownership of their future, develop resilience, and build the essential skills needed to thrive in both postsecondary education and the workforce.

 Our community-based services are designed to engage, empower, and equip pre-teens, teens, and young adults with the tools they need to shape their own futures. By fostering leadership development and providing character-building mentorship, we create supportive environments where young people can strengthen their sense of identity, purpose, and direction.

Through these programs, participants develop essential soft skills such as communication, collaboration, adaptability, and problem-solving, alongside key components of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, empathy, and responsible decision-making. These skills not only prepare students for academic and career success but also encourage healthier relationships and stronger connections within their communities.

Ultimately, our goal is to help young people stay on a positive path by building foundations of self-sufficiency, accountability, positive peer influence, and civic engagement—skills that will serve them well throughout their lives.
