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

 

CTC students between 18-21 years of age participate in the Student Transition and Education Program to further develop life skills, workplace readiness and community independence. Hands-on learning experiences provide students with the knowledge and tools to support their transition into life out of the school setting.

Hands-on learning experiences provide students with:

  • Real-world experiences that align with IEP goals
  • Social skills development: – Problem solving
– Decision making
– Self-Advocacy
  • Vocational experiences
  • Employability skills & good work habits
  • Activities of daily living: CTC on-site, simulated “apartment” with a working kitchen and bedroom
  • Weekly, community based instruction trips:
    • stores
    • supermarkets
    • libraries
    • community centers
    • tours of local areas for leisure activities
    • And more!
