This program is for adults 18-21 year of age with mild to moderate disabilities and focuses on serving students in the four areas of transition. We help students develop skills in independent living, community exploration, post-secondary education, and vocational training.
Students typically have completed high school with a Modified Diploma or a Certification of Completion and continue to be eligible for special education transition. Eligibility for this program continues through the school year that they turn 21. Our program provides a variety of hands-on, community-based activities including work experience, shopping, resumé building, and work readiness skills.
The program is staffed by certified teachers and trained specialists.
