Student Transition Support Request

Requesting for Student Transition Support

Rationale

The transition from elementary to middle school, and from elementary to secondary school, marks a critical juncture in a student’s educational journey, particularly for those who benefit from SET-BC services. This transition period is essential for ensuring continuity in learning and support, which can significantly impact a student’s academic and social development. For students using assistive technology, consistent support and adaptation to new environments are crucial for maintaining their progress and fostering independence.

The SET-BC service delivery model facilitates this by providing specialized resources and training for both students and educators, ensuring that assistive technologies are effectively integrated and utilized in the new school setting. This seamless transition is vital for minimizing disruptions, reducing anxiety, and empowering students to thrive in their new educational environments. Ultimately, supporting these transitions under the SET-BC model promotes inclusivity and equal access to education, helping students with diverse needs to reach their full potential.
