The High School Transition Program is a one-year educational program for students with disabilities in their last year of high school. It is targeted for students whose main goal is competitive employment. The program takes place in a healthcare or business setting where total immersion in the workplace facilitates the teaching and learning process through continuous feedback and application of new skill.
A typical school day includes:
- Classroom instruction in employability and independent living skills
- Participation at one or more worksite rotations
- Lunch with peers
- Feedback from the instructor
Individualized job development and placement begins after the rotations are completed. Students are given support through on-the-job coaching and work site accommodations with the ultimate goal of independence.
Linkages are made to appropriate community services, such as Ohio Rehabilitation Service Commission and County MR / DD boards, in order to insure a successful transition to work as well as retention and career advancement.
