What's Next™ for your special education students?

Next™ Transition Skills System is designed to help students acquire the essential skills they'll need to transition from childhood to adulthood. But, because no two students are alike, Next provides a complete system for identifying and addressing a variety of life skills needed to succeed in school, at home, in the community and in vocational settings.

• Basic academic skills
• Computer and Internet skills
• Interacting with others
• Communication skills
• Responsibility
• Workplace skills and attitudes
• Independent living skills
• Habits of wellness

Next™ removes uncertainty from the transition skills development process.

Unlike other transition skills programs, Next™ provides an uncomplicated, yet structured method for involving all members of a student's IEP team, including parents, in identifying the student's strengths, transition needs and priorities. Next™ provides tools to involve students in the process of identifying their wants and interests, which motivates them to participate and succeed at a higher level.

The Next process is intuitive and user friendly. It begins with a simple survey – assessment designed to encourage, and ensure, everyone's involvement in the goal-setting process.

Software-based records, paper-based records, or a combination of both. You decide how to use Next™.

Next™ puts you in complete control of creating, maintaining, and accessing student records by allowing you to decide what works best for your district.

If you’re ready to go paperless and want instant desktop access to individual student records, or perhaps a district-wide snapshot of all special education students, Next Transition Skills System software makes it easy — and secure.

If you're looking for seamless integration into your district’s current procedures, Next allows you to create and maintain a complete paper-based system, including individual student transition data-folios.

For many districts, a combination of both software and paper-based record keeping is the answer, and the Next Transition Skills system was developed to give you the freedom and flexibility to create and maintain records in a manner that works best for you.
