School-to-Work Transition Services

Easter Seals provides school-to-work services to help young adults with disabilities prepare a smooth, productive transition from school to the workforce. This service is provided in partnership with local high schools and may occur within the high school or at a job site. Guidance includes planing for desired outcomes before a student leaves the school system. The main structure of the school to work / transition service is related to work based learning including workplace experience, structured training, mentoring and apprenticeship at job sites. Easter Seals works closely with local high schools to develop connecting activities to build and maintaining bridges between school, work, residential options and recreational opportunities for students after leaving school.

Who Might Access this Service?
This service is available to any high school student with a qualifying disability. Your local school should be able to provide information regarding service providers in your area and should include those providers in a child’s case conference group so planning can begin well before he or she leaves school.

How are Services Paid For?
State and federal laws determine funding and eligibility requirements. Check with Easter Seals in your area for specific information regarding your options.
