The job of a Transition Coordinator: Miss. Williams, unbeknownst to a lot of the students here, is the Transition Coordinator and her job is to help people who have documented disabilities figure out what they want to do with their lives beyond high school. This can start as early as 13 or 14 years old and it includes a lot of activities that help to encourage independent living. She also works with a lot of outside agency's to make this happen. One story that stood out was when one of her students wanted to be a tattoo artist and with the help of OVR (one of the outside agency's) she was able to get an apprenticeship and then later be able to work in that field.
