DOTS

District Office of Transition Services (DOTS)

Our mission is to prepare students with disabilities ages 14+ to transition from school to adult life.

Transition planning includes instructional activities, collaboration, employment preparation, and assessment to help students identify and move toward their post secondary goals.
Transition support is a team effort among case carriers, general education teachers, special education teachers, related service staff, transition teachers, parents/guardians, and agency partners (as appropriate).

Transition services facilitated by transition teachers includes:

Targeted and individualized transition activities to help students prepare for postsecondary education, employment, and independent living.
Partnerships with Department of Rehabilitation and Workability I to provide unique services and paid work-based learning experiences.
Connecting students and families with outside agencies that may provide transition support during and after high school.
Providing training and support for compliant Individual Transition Plan (ITP) development as part of the Individualized Educational Program (IEP).
Transition assessments are utilized to identify student strengths, preferences, interests, and needs in the areas of education, employment, and independent living.

Parent Training

Transition teachers at high schools are offering a variety of parent training sessions related to life after high school. These sessions provide information and resources to parents/guardians on how to prepare their child for employment and educational opportunities once they complete high school. Parents/guardians can attend any of these trainings, regardless of the school their child attends. The calendar of trainings can be found here.
