Two Rivers Transition Program

During the student's 12th grade year, their high school IEP team will generate a referral. An intake meeting will be held to specifically identify and develop an individualized plan to address each student's specific needs at Two Rivers Transition Program at Franklin.

It is expected that each student who attends Two Rivers Transition Program at Franklin will graduate through the accomplishment of their IEP goals. The student will receive a diploma from their home high school when the goals on the IEP have been completed or the student has reached the age of 22.

Students are provided with job experiences that best fit their unique needs, strengths, and preferences. The Vocational Skills classroom located at Two Rivers Transition Program gives the student a job experience while learning to improve vocational skills on a variety of work tasks. Non-paid district sites also provide students with additional work experience while providing continued vocational training. Community sites, where students earn a paycheck, give workers a first-hand look at what it takes to hold and keep a competitive job. Job coaches offer support to students who need assistance at the workplace.

Prior to graduation, students and their guardians are encouraged to meet with their county social worker and set up tours of potential adult service providers. When the student and their guardian have selected an adult provider, a meeting can be scheduled to develop an appropriate transition plan.
