Making the transition from school to life is a very complicated one. It is even more difficult for a student with special needs. There are so many things to consider. What type of job will I be able to get? Where will I live? How do I begin to access the community services that I will need?

Peoria Unified school addresses the above issues helping special needs kids to transition into adulthood successfully. The program  is focused in giving certain foundation skills needed for any job:

•             Reliability: attendance, punctuality, time on task, working with minimum supervision and being trustworthy.

•             Productivity: maintaining one's work station, accuracy/efficiency, and maintaining production levels.

•             Social coping: maintaining self-control, proper dress and hygiene, accepting supervision, resolving conflicts, and working cooperatively with others.
