The Intellectual Disabilities program offers classes and new certificates designed especially for students with lower cognitive skills, i.e., students who exhibit below-average intellectual functioning and a potential for measurable achievement in an instructional or employment setting. The ID program has classes for students with mild to moderate ID and some classes for those individuals with more severe to profound ID. The majority of classes are non-credit and are free.
Coastline is dedicated to providing instruction that promotes growth toward greater independence and assists persons with disabilities to live and work in their own community, enjoying the same options and choices as persons without disabilities.

Coastline also offers classes for vocational day programs, such as Westview Services and Elwyn Industries.
