School personnel assist each student as needed. In addition, college students and other volunteers may be recruited to partner with students. Other local providers may include generic services and community members outside of the disability arena. The challenge for schools is to be responsive to the individual needs of students while maximizing limited resources. Many lessons can be learned from other schools that have undertaken off-campus educational opportunities.
Teams meet regularly to review progress and address barriers.
It is likely that schedules will differ from school hours and the school calendar. Services are community-based in settings with peers and other community members. Congregation of students in one place is avoided. Students are involved in integrated activities in their community. The delivery of services has been organized into a unified, coordinated system.
