Transition Activities

What are Transition Activities?

Transition activities are a collection of hypothetical and real-life experiences, which teach students the necessary skills for a successful transition to adulthood. According to IDEA 2004, a student's courses of study (activities) should be meaningful to the student's future plans and motivate the student to complete his or her education.

Ten Sigma's activities focus on 4 key areas including training, education, employment, and independent living. Our goal is to help teachers in guiding students to learn the skills they will need to function independently and reach their greatest potential!

Why EVERY Transition Teacher Needs Activities!

Most Special Educators are looking for better ways to provide lessons and information to their students that will help them to become happy, healthy, and productive members of society.

Thankfully, teachers are making progress in helping students with special needs to make that transition, but as you can see – we still have work to do! The most successful Transition programs have used resources like Ten activities as part of a comprehensive and effective curriculum.
