PASSAGE USA Transition Initiative

Part of the PASSAGE USA project is the Transition Initiative. The Transition Initiative aims to make the special education process clear to parents so that they can be active, engaged, and knowledgeable participants in all of their children’s individualized education meetings, especially those focused on transitioning from school to adulthood. In addition, the Transition Initiative provides the resources to make transition as seamless as possible. 

The Transition Initiative offers workshops for teachers on facilitating academic, PSE, independent living, employment skills, and outcomes for students with ID through SARIC; hosts the Postsecondary Education Preview (PEP) Overnight Summer Camp; provides individual consultations to parents, students, and districts around the IEP process and PSE, independent living skills, and employment access skills; and can attend local school and system based transition fairs.

Furthermore, the Transition Initiative will gladly bring students from PASSAGE USA to local high schools to meet students with ID and share their PSE, independent living, and integrated competitive employment experiences.  

We offer the opportunity for interested prospective students to shadow one of our students for the day.  If interested in this, please contact PASSAGEUSA@southalabama.edu to work out details.

Please contact passageusa@southalabama.edu if you are interested in any of these services.  

Contact passageusa@southalabama.edu if you are interested in a Zoom or a face-to-face meeting for your class, your parents, or yourself to discuss transition or PASSAGE USA, a Zoom or a face-to-face class to address Self-Determination, or additional Transition resources.
