We are excited to provide a transition-specific curriculum serving learners aged 18 to 22 years old.

Here's a recording of our presentation to various Special Education directors/administrator.

Based on IDEA 2004 Transition Serviced

• Designed to be a results-oriented process
• Based on the individual learner’s needs (strengths, preferences and interests) 
• Aimed to facilitate the learner’s movement from school to post-school activities (continuing and adult education, independent living and community participation)

The OATECA Transition Add-On (18-22 year old) is aligned with:

Four Components

There are four main components to this Add-On, with three assessments and one development curriculums:

• Functional Communication Assessment
• Job Interest Assessment
• Transition Skill Abilities Assessment
• Transition Skill Development

There is also an ancillary component with community-based instruction planning and ideas for classroom funding.
