Special Education Transition
Activities That Support a Compliant Transition Plan.
Project Discovery provides a coordinated set of activities to support a compliant Transition Plan. Through Project Discovery, students will learn about realistic interests, strengths and preferences and be better prepared to make an informed decision about their post-secondary outcomes. These federally-mandated transition service requirements assure students are receiving the curriculum, instruction and experiences needed to further skills toward each of the post-secondary outcomes. This is a daunting task without a well-coordinated program. Project Discovery is that program!
