Transition Tip Sheet

Mission Statement: ACSD#1 in partnership with community organizations aims to successfully transition students with disabilities as they move from high school into employment, independent living, and post-secondary education.

Our Vision: We envision being part of a community, where all students, regardless of abilities have equal access to competitive employment, gainful opportunities, and the ability to maximize independent living to the fullest extent possible.
