This six week Summer Transition Program for students with disabilities lets youths fully explore their communities through a range of activities.

Our Transition Services Summer Program gives students with disabilities, who would otherwise be homebound or receiving limited programming, the opportunity to be part of a more comprehensive learning experience that also prevents substantial regression during the summer months.

Serving approximately 40 students, ages 14 to 21, with cognitive, physical, developmental and learning disabilities, the program encourages students to fully explore their communities and learn valuable life and socialization skills that are not necessarily emphasized during the academic year.
