Palo Alto Adult School has developed some unique programs for serving disabled members of our community. We provide classes for people recovering from emotionally disabling illnesses. Our goal is to help these adults get back into the work force. Another program, Workability II, offers job preparation skills through the Department of Rehabilitation.
