Post Secondary Education Rehabilitation and Transition

The Postsecondary Education Rehabilitation Transition (PERT) Program, a collaborative program supported by the Virginia Departments of Education and administered through the Department of Rehabilitative Services at Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center (WWRC), is a highly effective school-to-work transition initiative for eligible youth with disabilities available to all Virginia local school divisions. The PERT Program operates from a best practices model in which youth and adult service providers partner to provide an integrated continuum of secondary to postsecondary transition services for participating clients. Parents and former PERT clients are integral members of the PERT Advisory Committee. PERT administrators work jointly with an interagency Transition Partners group which guides youth in transition efforts throughout the state.(PERT)
