Special Ed Opportunities Prepare to Prosper
Prepare to Prosper (P2P) transition services are designed to facilitate a seamless transition from high school to adult life based on a student’s postsecondary goals. The program is designed for students ages 18-21 who have already met their credit requirements for graduation and have been determined to need additional training and support in order to prepare to meet their postsecondary goals. The program places emphasis on connecting students with the routines and schedules that they will access in adulthood. This means that some students in P2P may be working on vocational skills to help them prepare for competitive or supported employment. Other students are working toward future volunteering and

participation in community-based programs. Meanwhile, other students are working on increasing their participation in daily living activities in a day habilitation program or while working with caregivers in their home. P2P students participate in a variety of activities depending on their postsecondary goals, interests, and needs. These activities include internships at local employers, campus-based jobs, and philanthropic activities to serve the community. Prosper Education Foundation grants have also enabled some P2P students to initiate student enterprises where they learn valuable skills while producing various products.
