The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), in partnership with The Boggs Center, conducts training and technical assistance to promote the implementation of person centered approaches in schools and transition. Project staff work in partnership with districts to plan more collaboratively with students and families and design supports for students that are rooted in their individual strengths and visions for the future. The project has a focus on supporting effective transitions from school to adult life, including employment and engaging with adult service systems. The Boggs Center offers statewide training in these approaches, as well as more intensive multi-year support in select school districts. Project staff also coordinates a statewide community of practice designed to foster a network of students, families, educators and advocates with an interest in person centered approaches and working together to identify strategies to positively impact person centered post-school outcomes.
