Community Connection Facilitators serve as liaisons between schools, students and their families. We support school staff in order to provide specialized pre-vocational, vocational, and transitional services for individual classrooms as well as individual students. We assist families in navigating the transition experience like completing and understanding transition paperwork. Additionally, we accompany families in working with district partners.

Community Connection Facilitators support school staff in using transition assessment tools, attending Individualized Education Program [IEP], Individual Transiton Plan [ITP], Department of Developmental Services [DDS], Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission [MRC] meetings and help establish vocational exploration onsite and within the community. We write employment grants and help facilitate college experiences for students and families.
