Under the direction of Illinois professors Stacy Dymond (Special Education) and David Strauser (College of Applied Health Sciences, Community Health Program), a state-wide training and technical assistance center will be created that specifically focuses on transition from school to work for students with significant disabilities (e.g., intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, autism).
Illinois Center for Transition and Work will help address the significant need to provide special educators, related services personnel, and administrators with training and support needed to prepare students for employment. This grant is funded through a contract with the Illinois State Board of Education.
Congratulations to Stacy and David!
