The Occupational Therapy Independent Living Skills (Transition) Program was established to serve students with severe behavioral, learning, and physical disabilities and to serve as a setting for occupational therapist training in transition programming. This manual describes this model pupil personnel training program, which prepares occupational therapy students to enter high school-based service in the area of transition. Section I presents justification for the establishment of occupational therapy independent living skills transition programs and describes the role for which occupational therapists need to be trained in such programs. Section II delineates the didactic and practical educational experiences that constitute the model training program. Section III presents the findings of an extensive needs assessment used to guide the design of the model independent living skills training center program. The establishment of the model for provision of high school transition services is outlined in Section IV, including student assessments, curricular content, method of instruction, parent groups, and interagency networking. Appendices include needs assessments; sample reports; potential individualized education program goals; lesson plans; parent meeting agendas; sample newsletters; and student, parent, and teacher satisfaction questionnaires.
