What are transition programs?
Transition Programs ● Transition (or postsecondary education) programs serve students ages 18-21 as they gain life skills needed for adulthood. ● Webster partners with St. John Fisher University for our two transition programs (12:1:1 & 12:1:4).
Our Mission To assist young adults with disabilities in strengthening their daily living, social/personal, and occupational skills. This skill development supports the young adults' transition to living as independently as possible in their communities. Each student shares individualized dreams, identifies skills needed to reach the dreams, and creates a goal plan for achieving them. This goal plan becomes each student's curriculum and is carried out in the program on the Fisher campus and in the community.
