Our Program

Genesee Intermediate School District's (GISD) Transition Center is an extended academic year program for students with moderate cognitive impairments. Our program is based on a supported curriculum model focusing on adult work/life skills. The National Technical Assistance Center On Transition, Brigance, and Michigan Model Supported Independence Curriculum are used to individualize student goals. The Transition Center serves post-secondary students from GISD Center-Based Programs and Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) in Genesee County. Program instruction includes:

  • Prevocational and Vocational Employability
  • Personal Health Care
  • Personal Safety
  • Communication Skills
  • Interpersonal Skills
  • Daily Living Skills
  • Basic Home Care Skills
  • Community Access to Recreational Activities
  • Human Growth and Development
  • Consumer Education
  • Person-Centered Planning
  • Job Exploration
  • Self-Advocacy

Program Services

Our program provides job exploration training and based on student success, an Individualized Vocational Training (IVT) or Work-Study Program (WSP) may be offered. Another program focus is the development of adult life skills, which includes teaching students how to live independently in the community. Our primary goal is to teach students to develop into self-sufficient workers and community members. Parent/guardian/student team meetings provide an opportunity for cohesive program planning. Project CHOICE options available.
