Adult Transition Program (ATP) for Independent Living Skills (ILS), Functional Living Skills (FLS), and Supported Living Skills (SLS)

The focus of the Elk Grove Unified School District Adult Transition Program (ATP) is to provide for maximum independence in the areas of independent living, vocational experiences, community integration, and recreation/leisure. Students and families are involved in determining needs related to independent living, vocational experiences, community integration, and recreation/leisure. Curricular and instructional modifications are congruent with activities of age appropriate adults and are in line with individual student goals.
