This model relied on leveraging resources currently available in the community to meet the individualized needs for transition services. This transition clinic made use of available community resources to avoid duplication of services. Numerous public service programs are funded at the local, state, and federal levels to provide the very services for training, job preparation, and community living that youth and young adults with special health care needs require to successfully make the transition to adulthood (Betz, 1999). For example, the recently passed Workforce Investment Act now provides for year round youth programs that include job training, leadership, and mentoring activities to assist all youth, including those with special health care needs, to develop job preparation skills.
