What is Transition Planning Support?
Transition is any movement from one situation to another (for example; hospital to home, home to school, school to college, pediatric care to adult medical care and possibly living alone). It is important to know the transition tools and resources available, especially for individuals with specific needs.
The journey into adulthood for an individual with specific needs is often filled with challenges. Families with individuals who have specific needs may deal with various transition issues.
We strive to empower students toward successful futures!
At Full Circle of Support, we create partnerships for success throughout the transition process to help each student reach their post-secondary goals. Our Transition Framework provides a person-centered, holistic approach to transition planning.
This includes developing college readiness and/or employment readiness and self-determination skills of the student while simultaneously supporting the parent/caregiver’s ability to help their student develop an actionable transition plan for a bright future.
Whether the student is transitioning to adulthood or transitioning to a new setting, our innovative transition planning support is individualized, collaborative, reflective, and respectful of all relationships within the circle of support, and will help each student successfully transition.
Our Post-Secondary Transition Planning Support Services include:
- Educational Evaluations, Transition Assessments, and Career and Interest Inventories
- Resource Mapping
- Goal Setting (SMART) Connected to the Bigger Picture and/or Post-Secondary Goals
- Connecting resources and services to support a seamless and successful transition
