The Adult Transition Program and 9th Grade Special Education Study Skills class work together to help students build essential skills for life after high school. In the Study Skills class, students focus on organizational strategies, time management, and academic support to succeed in their coursework. In the Adult Transition Program, students with intellectual disabilities engage in hands-on learning experiences, including job training, financial literacy, and independent living skills. By managing activities like a coffee shop and preparing for future employment, students gain the confidence and tools they need for a successful transition into adulthood, post-secondary education, and employment. Your support will help empower these students to thrive in their journey toward independence.
