LifeTown (Columbus OH) is a
unique interactive world where
children with special needs have fun
while they practice important life
skills through role play.
At LifeTown children with
disabilities find a place that has
been specifically designed to meet
their needs.
Through role-play, they practice
important life skills, such as
making and keeping appointments,
visiting the library, banking,
shopping or even applying for jobs.
LifeTown is more than a
community center or therapeutic
facility. It is a house of
friendship.
Our caring and supportive
volunteers are the key to the
success of LifeTown. By role-playing
the various positions within
LifeTown, volunteers allow the
students who visit to practice
everyday functions and interactions
in a safe and controlled environment
as they make the transition from
classroom lessons to the real world
experience.
From banker to librarian,
safety officer to doctor,
manicurist to ice cream seller –
adult volunteers play important
roles to help students to
transition to the great, big
world out there.
Find out how your special
needs students can achieve
specific educational goals that
are directly tied to the
students IEP in the area of
money management, problem
solving, and self-advocacy.
