Current Narrative:
Guam DVR will be updating their formal linkage agreement with Guam DOE/SpEd and will articulate the process for the coordination of services.
If a student is in a transition plan and prior to transitioning to VR services, the team involved in the student’s IEP and transition plan will ensure that services that had been identified by Guam’s DOE/SpEd are provided to the fullest extent possible and to allow the student to have utmost informed choice in their employment goals based on their skills, abilities, and interest.
Guam DVR will provide support to students whose vocational goals require them to pursue an academic or vocational training program at postsecondary educational institutions such as the Guam Community College (GCC) or the University of Guam (UOG).
Workshop presentations will be conducted at the various high school and college campuses.
