The students involved in the Person Centered Transition grant are developmentally disabled. One student is also medically fragile. The process has been proven to work well with students of all different disabilities. The population is diverse in its socio-economic parameters and ranges in age from 19-21.
The students involved in this grant have been chosen by their teachers to participate and are within the last two years of their educational program. The districts represented have indicated a willingness to change their current traditional transition planning methods to one that incorporates the person centered philosophy. Ongoing parent, family and teacher involvement will be critical to the ultimate success of this system change initiative |
