Teen Transition Program

The Teen Transition Program in Seminole, FL, empowers students with visual impairments by equipping them with essential life skills needed for thriving after high school. Supported in part by the Florida Division of Blind Services, the program emphasizes self-determination, advocating for one's needs, problem-solving, and effective communication. Participants gain practical experience through training in assistive technology, including keyboarding and adaptive software, alongside important compensatory skills like Braille and signature writing. Career and vocational education components focus on developing interview techniques, resume writing, and hands-on work experience, while orientation and mobility training ensures safe navigation in everyday environments. Independent living skills, such as cooking, budgeting, and money management, are integral to preparing students for self-sufficiency, and visual efficiency skills involve instruction in low vision devices for better access to printed materials. This comprehensive program, including a year-round Transition Summer Camp, is dedicated to ensuring that students transition successfully into college, technical schools, employment, or independent living.
