Transition Academies
The Transition Academies are hands-on programs to support young adults with disabilities to build the needed skills to be successful in adulthood. These skills focus on independence, social appropriateness, and daily living skills, including gainful employment and safety. During their time in a Transition Academy, students will be prepared and offered opportunities to apply, interview, and potentially gain entry level employment with the support of Transition Academies' teachers. Moreover, students will receive guidance on domestic on-the-job skills and learn to maintain a healthy lifestyle independently. The Transition Academies are dedicated to supporting students to become well-rounded, independent adults.
