What Services are available through CNS?

• Transition Services
  Information, planning, and referral to help students learn about multiple options in work, community living, and higher education. Students may receive assistance through self-assessment, vocational exploration, self-advocacy, and information gathering on regional colleges and other available adult training/work programs.
   
• Work Experience Program
  An opportunity for students, 14 years of age and over who either attend BOCES or component district programs, to participate in a variety of work-study or community placement opportunities. The Work Experience Program provides a continuum of actual work experiences allowing students to obtain marketable skills that they can apply to real-world employment opportunities.
   
• Family Information Services
  Is a true partnership which focuses on choices and opportunities for the school community as they move through the transition process. This partnership is a unique collaboration between a parent of a child with a disability and a person with a disability. Each will bring a rich perspective in addressing the various options available to families, students and staff.
