OTD Capstone Projects
Abstract
This doctoral capstone project was completed in partnership with Benton Hall Academy, a private institution providing unique forms of instruction for students with learning differences ranging from 3rd through 12th grade. The aim of this project was to provide transition resources to staff, high school students, and parents at Benton Hall. As a result, a resource website was created documenting options for after graduation for individuals with learning differences. This included possibilities such as inclusive secondary education programs, vocational training programs, day programs, residential programs, community colleges, trade schools, etc. This involved meeting with organizations and government agencies in Tennessee to create a frequently asked questions page for each transition service option. How-To pages were also created on this website to aid in topics such as looking for a job, navigating resources for adults with disabilities, finding a college, and discovering a major and/or career.
