Quarterly updates and resources to support inclusive education and post-school success for students with disabilities.

Summer Newsletter

August 19, 2025

The start of a new school year is a natural time for educators to focus on their mission and recommit to the work ahead. At CCTS, ours is clear: to empower educators and administrators to improve transition services for youth with disabilities through partnerships, research, and training. We enter this academic year ready to work alongside you to strengthen inclusion, expand opportunities, and prepare every student for postsecondary life.

In this newsletter, you will get a first look at our newly updated Developing Job Shadow Experiences training course, featuring new recommendations to make work-based learning inclusive for all students. We also showcase powerful inclusion resources created by students. These authentic tools reflect the voices, experiences, and hopes of young people navigating school, work, and community life. And with the availability of 2024 post-school outcome (PSO) data (2022-23 leaver year), we invite you to explore how your local trends can inform planning, strengthen collaboration, and drive systemic change.

Together, we can make this school year a powerful step toward a more inclusive future for all students.

One thing that I wish educators knew is that when they accommodate students with disabilities, they accommodate all students and make a better learning environment for all students. Danny, Student, Walla Walla, Seattle
