Transition Services

LOGOS School is dedicated to helping students find hope, healing and a promising future.

We work with our students and their families to develop individualized plans specific to each student’s aspirations for their future. Our goal is to ensure that the work they put in to achieve academic success and therapeutic growth translates into success after they leave LOGOS.

Everyone can benefit from a transition plan that assesses their interests and abilities and explores careers, colleges or training programs. Transition planning helps lessen the anxiety many students feel about their future.

Our Director of Transition Services, Danielle Titsworth, designs activities that prepare students to move from our program to post-high school life. They are based on the student’s needs, preferences, interests and include investigation in the following areas:

Employment

Transition plans include short-term and long-term employment goals. Entry level jobs are the first exposure to the world of work. Starting with the end in mind is helpful for students to understand the steppingstones towards a long-term employment goal. Students will:

Complete assessments
Explore careers of interest
Job shadow
Learn and practice interviewing skills

Education

Again, short-term and long-term goals are addressed. Beginning with the date for high school graduation and the steps necessary to get there, students begin exploring the credentials and training they need to reach their long term employment goal. We help:

Researching colleges or trade schools
Scheduling a campus tour
Prepare for ACT Testing
Researching scholarships
Applying to colleges
Filling out the FASFA

Independent Living

Timelines and the extent to which some students can live independently varies. However, everyone can and should learn to care for themselves and contribute to a household. Learning to advocate for oneself, manage money, and use transportation responsibly is often not a small task.

Transportation
Money management
Recreation and leisure
Home maintenance

At LOGOS, we know every student deserves the chance to fulfill their own hopes and dreams for a successful future.
