Community-Based Transition Programs
Columbus
State WINGS & OSU Project Plus
The Educational
Service Center of Franklin County operates two Community-Based Transition
Programs (CBTP) located on college campuses, WINGS at Columbus
State and Project Plus at The Ohio State University.
These programs are designed to improve employment and post-high
school outcomes for students with mild to moderate disabilities,
ages 18-22, who have completed high school graduation requirements
but have elected to continue their schooling experience. Through
the CBTP students receive in-depth work experiences and opportunities
to develop and apply social skills and functional academics in a
natural, community-based setting. These experiences are supported
by a curriculum that emphasizes self-determination, choice and employment
resulting in positive transition outcomes for students. These model
programs step up as a frontrunner in best practices for transition
service options for students.
