Transition Services Summer Program

The Transition Services Summer Program serves approximately 30 students per summer who are classified with a documented disability and who require special education services during the summer in order to prevent substantial regression. Through the Transition Services Summer Program, students who would otherwise be homebound and relatively unproductive during the summer (or receiving limited programming) are provided with a more comprehensive learning experience. The Transition Services Summer Program focuses on three spheres of development and training: social, vocational, and leisure/recreational. The six week program incorporates vocational instruction, work experience, community integration, and travel training. Each week also includes a recreational/educational trip to a local attraction. Through this curriculum, students with moderate to severe learning disabilities, which may be complicated by other issues, learn valuable life skills and socialization skills that are not necessarily emphasized during the academic year.
