Supported Transition is one of the transition programs housed at Laremont School. This program is a transition program designed for young adults focusing on life skills, functional academics and vocational skills. Supported Transition provides a supportive environment with smaller class sizes.

Supported Transition is one of three specialized programs within the Transition Center at Laremont School. Designed for students ages 18-22, the supported transition classrooms provide an individualized education for students with disabilities. The supported transition classrooms focus on preparing students with an emphasis on functional academics, vocational skills, and independent living. This program offers a nurturing environment with smaller class sizes to better support each student’s growth and independence.

At the Transition Center, students focus on transition goals and postsecondary objectives through hands-on learning in diverse spaces, including a market prep area, vocational room, mock apartment, sensory room, gym, and various electives. The curriculum emphasizes independent living, communication, emotional regulation, functional academics, and employment skills, preparing students for successful adult life. The Transition Center currently includes eight classrooms, each tailored to foster these critical skills.

Additionally, students in the supported transition program benefit from increased community-based learning opportunities. Multiple times per week, students have opportunities to engage in curriculum-based instruction that reinforces their transition goals. With a strong emphasis on employment skills, supported transition students participate in meaningful job experiences, both within the school and at various off-campus sites, providing them with practical work experience in real-world settings.
