Eligibility
Students must have a visual impairment in both eyes and require vocational rehabilitation services to prepare for an employment outcome.
Services
Transition Services consist of a group of services provided jointly by the local school district on an Individual Education Plan and Blind Services. Types of services can consist of the following:
- Career Exploration
- Compensatory Skills Training
- Training in Activities of Daily Living
- Job Shadowing
- Work Experiences
Plan
Transition Services are generally provided through the Vocational Rehabilitation. However, they could be provided through the Children and Families Program. In either case, the student will have a Plan of Services. The types of services to be provided through Blind Services are normally incorporated into the student's Individual Education Plan as well.
