ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Unlocking Potential, we’re spotlighting The Discovery Academy—an 18+ program in Canyon ISD helping young adults with disabilities build independence, learn life skills, and gain meaningful work experience.
Since launching just a few years ago, the program has thrived, offering innovative opportunities like an in-house laundry business and student-created products such as laundry soap and room sprays.
Hosts Winston and Danielle are joined by Shelli Jones, Director of Discovery 18+, and Bree Holbrook, Discovery 18+ Coordinator, who share how the program began, what makes it unique, and how it’s helping students prepare for life beyond high school."
