Adults with Exceptional Abilities are the most amazing adults getting together for fun, fellowship, and some fun activities. Missy Kahl is a paraprofessional from LFCHS and will facilitate these activities. Join us for a variety of crafts, activities, and fun throughout the year. You can even suggest a new activity they haven't tried yet! Class is held on the first Saturday of each month, and details for the specific activity will be shown in the 'section' information below. Please note: Attendees of many ability levels can participate, but if you require assistance to participate independently, please provide your own personal assistant and equipment as required for your participation. Fees are intended to benefit the participant of the class. All projects, activities and materials used for the class will only be provided for the participant. If you have any questions about what this can look like for you, please call Community Services and we can make a plan to fit your needs.

STANDARD IN-PERSON CLASS Driving a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) requires a higher level of knowledge, experience, skills, and physical abilities than that required to drive a non-commercial vehicle. In order to obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), an applicant must pass both skills and knowledge testing geared to these higher standards. This class will provide the classroom portion of the CDL endorsement steps. In this course you have the opportunity to learn the basic operation of a CDL vehicle, pre-trip inspection, safe operating procedures, advance operating procedures, vehicle systems and malfunctions, and non-driving activities. Class time will include CDL simulator time. This is a very reading and classwork intensive class. A licensed instructor will be available for assistance, questions and to implement simulator time. Students do NOT need to be present at all scheduled hours of the class periods, but may attend all hours if needed or desired. Students ARE required to attend the first day of class to get registered and to obtain all course material. At that time, you can decide what hours you will attend in person. After students complete their ELDT (Entry Level Driver's Training), you will need to complete behind the wheel independently. No behind the wheel training will be given as part of this class. Resources for this will be shared by the instructor. If your future includes needing a CDL endorsement, this course not only helps you gain the knowledge you will need to become licensed, but will save you a significant amount of money. Requirements to register for this class: 18 years or older Hold a current class 'D' or higher MN driver's license Ability to pass clean D.O.T. drug test at time of licensing Computer or similar and internet access (if you do not have access, instructor will accommodate your needs - please answer questions during the enrollment process) FEDERAL 'EXPRESS' PACKAGE This class will bring you through the Federal registration requirements that need to be met for obtaining your theory signoff. You will complete the classwork independently, and a licensed instructor will sign off on coursework completion and assist with online registration. If you have questions regarding this option, please contact us directly so we can get you answers! We can be reached at 320.632.7902. Once you have registered for the EXPRESS package, please contact Community Services at the number above so we can initiate the Federal registration process. Please include a valid birthdate, cell phone, email and mailing address in your account information.
