Shared Vision
Overview
A team of interagency partners came together in 2020 to develop a shared vision for transition services and coordination practices to enhance students and youth with disabilities post-secondary outcomes here in Colorado.
Vision:
Each and every student, regardless of disability, has a right to transition to an adult life that includes education, employment, independent living, full community participation and the right to make decisions in and about their lives.
Purpose:
To promote systems improvement, collaboration to create, disseminate and align best practice resources and foster knowledge to ensure each and every student with disabilities has individualized access to any, and all, available tools and resources to achieve successful post-school outcomes.
The Colorado State Services Coordination Transition Team for Students with Disabilities is working to create:
Shared Colorado Framework for Transition
Introducing sequencing and partnering at younger ages during high school
High expectations for employment, community integration and post-school success
High level focus on student outcomes in particular, employment
Desire to enhance student self-determination and high expectations
Develop a Framework that can be shared and the student can drive the process among school, community partners, and families
