Transition and Related Services

Transition services are a critical part of the CJR education program and assist students in identifying goals for postsecondary education and employment. CJR staff guide students in directions that will help them realize their goals while preparing for the challenges they will face after graduation. As a part of transition services, students are evaluated and assessed to determine their abilities and skill development.

Transition services are developed and coordinated through an interdisciplinary team. This team makes recommendations to each student’s Planning and Placement Team (PPT)for appropriate plans and courses of action that will assist students in developing and utilizing skills that foster independence and self-reliance. Transition services also support positive community participation and help students maintain good health. These services teach students how to be self-advocates, to communicate effectively with others, to develop and nurture positive relationships, and to be able to resolve conflicts productively. Students may choose to participate in cooperative work study during and after school and on weekends.
