Special Education and Transition Services
Welcome to the Transition Services Program at the Nisonger Center. Our mission is to develop and deliver programs, products and services that enhance the quality of education and transition services for students with disabilities. The ultimate goal of our program is to increase the quality of adult life for students and their families. We invite you to explore our current programs!
E-Mentoring: Our E-Mentoring Program connects students with disabilities to mentors who share their transition experiences. Students complete an online course that helps them prepare for the transition to employment or college while communicating weekly with their mentor. Students use e-mail to interact with their teachers and mentors who:
- Provide encouragement and guidance to their mentees
- Challenge their mentees to think critically about their future
- Foster self-advocacy skills
- Motivate their mentees to excel in either school and/or work settings.
