Transitioning to Higher Education with Ease

Transition is a formal process of long-range cooperative planning that will assist students with disabilities to successfully move from school into the adult world.  High-quality transition planning and services will enable students receiving developmental disability care to pursue their desired post-secondary goals.

The first listed purpose for the Federal law known as The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is “to ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living.”

Champion Learning LLC strives to devise a transition program as part of our support programs in New Jersey that fits the individual’s needs and optimizes his or her abilities and resources. Collaboration among all individuals and entities engaged in preparing the student to be a successful adult is one of the fundamental factors of successful transition planning. A lack of collaboration in the transition planning process can be a key contributor to kids not achieving favorable post-school results.

With this in mind, our transition advisor will do their best to provide our clients with the appropriate guidance needed to make their transition comfortable. At the transition level, instruction focuses on Career Awareness, Career Exploration, Community Living, and Recreation. Our support coordination in Essex County, New Jersey, practices Person-Centered Thinking and Planning in which each student’s values, gifts, strengths, and abilities are identified and embraced within authentic community environments.

Should you or a loved one need this type of support, please feel free to send us an email at championlearningllc@gmail.com. We will be more than glad to assist!
