In some cases, however, there are organizations and companies who provide monetary assistance to private schools, and these monies are often set aside for grant purposes.

Life skills are generally those skills that the students will need to survive in everyday life (skills such as money management, hygiene, and shopping for groceries). These skills are essential for special education students to learn because they enable the transition from school to life in the "real world."
