Postsecondary Transition Services
Assessment, Consultation, Planning, Real-life Coaching, Training and More
Transition is the process of developing the skills needed for independent and successful postsecondary life – in whatever path an individual chooses to take. NESCA provides vision-driven, person-centered transition services that support students and young adults as they prepare for life after high school and beyond.
NESCA offers a range of transition assessment services designed to identify and support a student’s postsecondary living, social, educational, and vocational goals, as well as their related strengths and needs. Families are encouraged to begin with a one-hour parent intake and consultation prior to starting the assessment and planning processes.
NESCA’s transition assessment services are designed to support students, families, schools, and professionals and are provided by our team of Transition Specialists, Special Educators, Occupational Therapists, and related providers.
