The Transition Living Classrooms (TLC) serve students with developmental disabilities who have met the requirements for high school graduation, but the IEP team has determined that they would benefit from additional education as they transition to adult services. Located on the Ohio Living Quaker Heights Campus in Waynesville and at the Western Row Campus in Mason, the program is community-based allowing the interns to develop and practice employability skills at supported work sites, while also developing independent living skills in fully equipped apartments.
The Transition Living Classrooms are staff supported with a Special Education Director, Program Supervisor, Intervention Specialist/Program Coordinator and Job Coaches. The programming embraces a student-centered philosophy, which emphasizes individuality, personal choice, inclusion, and integration with a focus on employment and life skill development.
