The Illinois Center for Autism provides Transitional Services for students/adults, ages 14 and
older. Leaving the school environment and moving into the adult world is often a difficult process
for young people. This is particularly true for students with disabilities. The purpose of the
Transitional Services is to facilitate and address these students’ movement or transition from a
school environment to the post-school activities he/she desires. Under the supervision of a job
coach, individuals receive on-the-job training at employment sites within the community. The
individuals work in a variety of situations, including clerical tasks, general maintenance,
housekeeping, and food service. Job coaches are phased out as the individual becomes more
independent and self-sufficient. These services provide employment opportunities and are used
for integrating people with autism into the work force.
The Transitional Services Program is accredited by the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission
(CARF) under
