- Need to address transition from school, need to look at IEP
- You are entirely correct. We are working with school districts to use a new legislative appropriation for $500,000 to address employment needs of people on our Waiting List. This activity is focusing on transition of students from school into competitive employment using internships and other means to support this outcome. A major part of this activity will be to work with local schools and look at the development of IEPs to ensure they focus on employment outcomes and are used to focus collaboration with APD.
