Community Transition Academy

Community Transition Academy (CTA) is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 charitable organization. The Academy is a community and classroom-based, non-public transition high school (NPS) for teens and emerging young adults with developmental disabilities. Community Connection Project (CCP) is an adult program that focuses on bridging the gaps in the transition from high school into adult life by providing supported community access and opportunities for program participants and customized training for their adult networks.  The Academy serves students from 9th grade through transition-age (22 yrs.), who have significant academic, language, social, and/or behavioral challenges most commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder, while CCP serves the same population post high school. The CCP program serves young adults needing significant communication and behavioral supports and community training to successfully transition from school to adult-life.

The Mission of the Community Transition Academy (CTA) is to offer a highly individualized, hands-on approach towards education and community inclusion, providing a meaningful and collaborative transition for emerging young adults with autism spectrum disorder or related developmental disabilities from high school to adulthood in addition to providing training to the community at large.

Our CTA vision is the successful inclusion of individuals of all abilities within their community.
