Student Transition and Education Program (S.T.E.P.)

S.T.E.P. Mission Statement

To transition students from school to adult life by connecting them to opportunities and supports that foster their full participation in the community

S.T.E.P. (Student Transition and Education Program) – Post High School Program – ages 18 through 21

The mission of the STEP (Student Transition and Employment Preparation) Program is to support students in making a successful transition from school to adult life. We connect students with meaningful opportunities and resources that promote independence, self-confidence, and full participation in the community.

This mission is achieved through a comprehensive and personalized approach that includes:

Real-World Experiences & Functional Academics
Learning is aligned with each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals, emphasizing practical, real-life applications.
Social Skills Development
Weekly social groups help build key skills such as:
- Problem-solving
- Decision-making
- Self-advocacy
Vocational Experiences
Students engage in job training both within the school (including the CTC Market) and in community settings to develop:
- Employability skills
- Strong work habits
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
Daily routines incorporate practice in essential life skills needed for independent living.
