The student's IEP and transition plan determine their participation. The program is housed at the Carroll Community College Annex, South Center Street, Westminster. Students participate in the Post Secondary Program for at least two years. Their fist year is primarily and instructional year. The second year and any subsequent years are spent in an employment situation that will hopefully become the student's full time work site managed by the adult provider.
Students spend a portion of their day within the classroom setting.
The classes are taught by a special education teacher, speech and language therapist, and representatives from the local adult service agencies. A portion of the student's day is also spent on a work experience either paid or unpaid. On the job, the student is supported by a job coach until they reach their independent comfort level or natural supports are built into the work setting. In this setting, the student gets to practice those skills taught within the classroom setting. Students are evaluated on job performance on a daily or weekly basis by the job coach and quarterly by the work supervisor.
