The Secondary Transition ProjectHelping families & students transition into adult life.
What is the Secondary Transition Project?The Secondary Transition Project is a program developed by The Arc of Tennessee that helps families & students prepare for the significant challenges of secondary transition by:
Project VisionFamilies, students, and educators become knowledgeable about the secondary transition process, resources, and opportunities in local communities across the state and on the internet, so that young adults transition into adulthood with quality lives they and their families design. The ChallengeSecondary transition can be a confusing time. Often parents, teachers, and administrators have the same values and concerns - to mold students into productive members of society. The Secondary Transition Project promotes collaboration between families, students, and educators to help meet the student's secondary transition goals. Project OutcomesThe Secondary Transition Project helps families and students understand the secondary transition process, see the possibilities for adult life, and become aware of resources available to help make their dreams come true. The process of secondary transition includes assessment, gathering information, planning, family and student involvement, interagency collaboration, and inclusive community experiences. All of which, should be addressed. Secondary Transition Training will be provided in each of Tennessee's nine developmental districts (First Tennessee, East Tennessee, Southeast Tennessee, Upper Cumberland, South Central, Mid-Cumberland, Southwest, Northwest, and the Memphis Delta) as well as during the Tennessee Spring Special Education Conference and the Tennessee Disability MegaConference.
