Secondary Transition Initiatives - Transition Alliance of South Carolina (TASC)
Project Description:
The Center for Disability Resources is spearheading a statewide initiative, known as the Transition Alliance of South Carolina (TASC), to improve secondary transition programming and practices for students with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The CDR is partnering in this effort with other state stakeholders via the statewide interagency transition team. Utilizing funding and support from TASC partners, project staff housed at the Center for Disability Resources has initiated the development of an infrastructure to support local interagency transition teams as they increase their capacity to collaboratively and effectively serve young adults with ID/DD who are transitioning from high school to adult-life. This initiatives are fiscally supported in part by the South Carolina Developmental Disabilities Council, the South Carolina Department of Education, and the South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs.
