Community Based Training - Transition

The transition between school and work is perhaps the most significant of most people’s lives, and helping students (and parents) to manage this transition to work is part of what we do. It is our hope that the years our students spend at Ingraham will help them to achieve a maximum level of independence both at work and at home. In addition to the subjects mentioned above, which all relate to this transition in some way, we also try to effectively advise parents (and the students themselves) in issues such as housing, guardianship, adult social opportunities, and transportation. We have developed a transition manual and checklist for parents, and each year we have two parent transition nights where we invite representatives from agencies such as DVR and DDD to speak to parents.
