Third Step: Apply to Vista
-
In order to be accepted into Vista, a potential student must first go through the application process. There are several parts to this process. Vista wants to have an in depth understanding of the student before he/she is accepted so that we know that we are the right match! Therefore, the potential student must attend a five day evaluation visit as part of the acceptance application process.
The five-day vocational and life skills evaluation visit is arranged for the prospective student to determine the interest and readiness of the individual for acceptance as well as to determine the proper level of training and housing if the student were to enter. The applicant spends five days and four nights at the Vista Residence where he/she is evaluated by staff on his/her functional ability in a variety of skills to live independently and work successfully.
In order to start this process, a one-page initial application and deposit for the evaluation visit is submitted.
Upon receipt of the initial application, Vista admissions department will schedule the five day evaluation visit and notify the potential student and family. Vista will send the potential student and family a comprehensive application packet which must be completed prior to the evaluation dates.
