Shared Vision
Overview
A team of interagency partners came together in 2020 to develop a shared vision for transition services and coordination practices to enhance students and youth with disabilities post-secondary outcomes here in Colorado.
Vision Statement:
Each and every youth, regardless of disability, successfully achieves an adult life that includes education, employment, independent living, full community participation, and the right to make decisions in and about their lives.
Purpose Statement:
To improve systems by guiding, aligning, and refining best practices, cultivating knowledge, and building networks of support so every youth with disabilities has individualized access to the services and resources needed to thrive.
The Colorado State Services Coordination Transition Team for Students with Disabilities is working to create:
- Shared Colorado Framework for Transition
- Introducing sequencing and partnering at younger ages during high school
- High expectations for employment, community integration and post-school success
- High level focus on student outcomes in particular, employment
- Desire to enhance student self-determination and high expectations
- Develop a Framework that can be shared and the student can drive the process among school, community partners, and families
