Transition Services

The Super Senior and Transition Class Programs are for students in their final three years of school. The goal of these programs is to provide intense career preparation utilizing an integrated, community based approach to learning. The students, ages 18 to 21, receive 2 days a week of instruction in academics, language and social skills within the work areas of an Office, Commercial Kitchen, Apartment, Restaurant and Supermarket, practicing clerical, food preparation, housekeeping, landscaping, stock clerking and food service skills.

Integrated Occupational and Speech and Language therapies that correlate with the work related goals of the program are part of the weekly schedule. There are field trips and/or in- house presentations by professionals in the career fields they are studying. There is also a focus on the development of hobbies and life time leisure activities. Finally, the students receive 2 to 3 days a week of Job Training. This program can be tailored to the needs of each individual student depending upon the IEP team’s expectations for their future. These work experiences provide the students with an opportunity to identify their career related strengths, weaknesses, interests and preferences.
