SKILL BUILDING FOR TRANSITION

A successful transition from school to adulthood for students with disabilities is vastly improved when they can engage in meaningful work and life experiences while still in school. The Transition Specialist helps students build skills through targeted activities listed in the student’s IEP, including everyday life, social and employment skills.
