Norwalk Next Steps 18-22 Transition Program
Norwalk Next Steps is a post-high school transitional program with Norwalk Public Schools that works with young adults (ages 18-22) with varying levels of abilities to effectively become valued members of the community. It offers a range of services for students in need of functional academics, vocational experiences, and independent living skills. Norwalk Next Steps assists in developing the competence to lead successful and rewarding lives.
Strong community partnerships with an expanding list of local businesses provide meaningful employment, volunteer, independent living, interpersonal and social experiences for our young adults.
Setting and implementing goals outlined in the IEP, using strength-based assessments in the community and in the classroom, and creating momentum and planning ahead are all part of the team approach of Norwalk Next Steps. In addition, we provide close collaboration between students, families, and agencies such as the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), Bureau of Rehabilitation Services (BRS), Board of Education Services for the Blind (BESB), Abilis, STAR, and Ability Beyond.
