Transition Program

While preparing children for adulthood is a focus for everyone at CTC, students are officially eligible for transition services at age 14. Transition services are coordinated activities designed to help students move successfully from high school to college, vocational training, continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, community participation, and employment, including supported employment. Students participate in job sampling, shadowing, and internships based on their strengths and passions to increase awareness of potential careers. Students who wish to move on to higher education also receive support to identify colleges that will accommodate their needs. ​

​Special Needs Doing Good Deeds


Special Needs Doing Good Deeds is a new and exciting addition to the Transition Department. SNDGD, inspired by CTC parent Lori Lombardo, is built on the idea that instead of always receiving help, students with special needs have a lot to offer as well. By tapping into student interests, transition becomes a meaningful way for students to get the same satisfaction we all feel as we help others. Much of our in-house transition time will be spent making products that can be delivered to the elderly, hospitals, police departments, etc.
