Transition
Transition
is the time when you think about leaving school and start making
plans for what you will be doing, earning an income, getting a job
or possible self employment, and pursuing your interests in the
community. You may begin to make plans as early as age 14.
We have worked with many students and their families, school personnel,
and others interested in helping you reach your goals. We know it
is a big change in your life and want to help you with the challenges
you will face.
We have coordinated successfully for several years with the Jo
Brighton Skills Center in Wyandotte, the Western Wayne Skills Center
in Westland, and the Michigan Rehabilitation Services in an effort
to team up with each student and his or her support group.
We can provide you with valuable information about community-based
services and help you get started with them. Our emphasis will be
on developing
employment opportunities, finding you a job or helping you to earn
money by being self employed.
Our supports coordination,
skills training, mobility training, self employment, and job placement
services staff provide you with a well rounded program which meets
your specifications. You may ask your Supports Coordinator about
any other needs or concerns you may have.
In summary, you will plan your life with others who care about
you, get a job or be self employed, be active with your interests
in the community, be satisfied by pursuing your dream, and grow
into the future.
