Transition Services for students are designed within an outcome-oriented process, which promote movement from school to post-school activities, including post-secondary education, vocational training, employment, adult services, independent living, or community participation.
Activities are based on students' needs taking into account preferences and interests, as well as instruction, community experiences, the development of employment and other post-school adult living objectives. When appropriate, this may also include acquisition of daily living skills and a functional vocational evaluation.
Services are based on current assessments of the student's academic, vocational, and daily living skills. The student's language and culture are considered in evaluations and planning. Transition services emphasize skills needed to live and work in an integrated community setting.
We work with students and youth with disabilities, aged 15-25, who are transitioning from high school to post-secondary education and employment. Our goal is to provide the most appropriate counseling and guidance for your successful transition from high school or post-secondary education to adulthood, independence, and employment. Because every service we provide is individualized, we will customize youth transition plan to meet your own specific needs.
Our Youth Services and Transition Unit's goal is to promote competitive, integrated employment for Colorado's youth through thoughtful career pathway development as a result of coordinated services with our education, workforce center and other adults service agency partners. We do this with our partners, including Project SEARCH and School to Work Alliance Program.
