Nassau BOCES Center for Community Adjustment (CCA)

Nassau BOCES Center for Community Adjustment (CCA) serves high school students whose emotional, behavioral, or developmental needs call for specialized instruction and support. The Wantagh program brings together academic teaching, behavior support, and therapeutic services across three programs: Nassau Education and Treatment, Modified High School, and Life Skills Enrichment. Students work toward academic progress, positive social and behavioral skills, and greater independence. Modified High School adds functional academics and prevocational preparation, while Life Skills Enrichment builds daily living and job-readiness skills through unpaid internships. CCA staff coordinate with families, school districts, and outside agencies to support each student's goals. The program follows New York State learning standards and uses a closed campus to maintain a structured setting.
