Analysis of Communities
You will chose communities and examine factors that would be related to transition in each.
One will be an urban setting, one a suburban setting, and one a rural setting. Ideally, they will all be within the same broad geographic area.
(Boston vs Hartford or Boro, Nashville, Bedford)
You will research the following:
• Transition supports at the local high school (if there are multiple, pick one)
• Employment trends and options for students with disabilities
• Transportation options
• Postsecondary education and training options
• Community agencies
In addition to summarizing each of these of each of the communities, you will then compare what is available based on the student's community, and analyze how that might impact transition options and planning.
