Narrative
Transition to Adulthood Program (Tap)
SCIL works directly with students and their families to provide the students with key experiences in developing their independence, self-empowerment, and personal goals and objectives. SCIL utilizes TAP to assist students in their development of Citizenship Responsibilities, Daily Living Skills, Transportation, Money Management, Employment, Health Insurances and Benefits, Housing, and other continuing education and employment opportunities.
In conjunction with the core services provided to the students, SCIL will attend Individualized Education Planning (I.E.P.) meetings to provide support and assistance to students and their families as needed and assist the students in creating a Post-Secondary Education Vision Statement.
