PLANNING

 

Transition Planning

Spectrum Academy makes the commitment to every student to provide research-based instruction on core standards, daily social skills instruction, and sensory integration which culminates in the development of adaptive skills to ensure lifelong success into adulthood.

Beginning in the 6th grade, students and their families are introduced to Transition Planning and provided with ideas to initiate the planning process. Through 8th grade, students participate in classes, activities, and unique experiences that introduce them to several vocations and skills required for success.

Once students enter high school, a comprehensive Transition Plan is developed by the IEP team with great emphasis placed upon student involvement. The team develops goals in the areas of career, training, and adult living.

Transition services are identified to support progress towards transition goals and the exploration of transition opportunities from high school to post-high school activities, including postsecondary education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, and community participation.
