WorkAbility I High School Array of Services Definitions School-to-Career Activities IMPLEMENTATION 7/01/06
WorkAbility is a model transition program for youth with disabilities. The following activities are critical elements of an effective delivery system for transition services as mandated by IDEA and stated in Education Code (56470 and 56471). The following definition of terms and activities are intended to provide consistency in program implementation and documentation of the Array of Services. The references used to compile the definitions are the National School to Work Glossary of Terms, the Work-Based Learning Guide from CDE, the Fair Labor Standards Act and the National Standards and Quality Indicators for Transition. The WorkAbility funding model is based on the number of students “served”. To qualify as served, a student must be provided career/vocational assessment and career counseling and guidance in the School Based Component and one or more services in the Connecting Activities and Work Based Learning Component. Of these services, at least one must be directly provided by the WAI Program or documentation must exist of WAI’s role in the indirect provision of the service. It is required that each site place 25% of the students they serve in paid employment/training experiences. These placements may be either subsidized (by WorkAbility or other sources) or employer paid.
