Transitional Services

We at Academy at Swift River strive to provide a smooth transition to home, high school, college, boarding school, or interim program, to optimize our student's chances for long term success through the development of a Transition Care Plan. Based upon Aspen Education Group's best practices guidelines, Academy at Swift River will develop a transitional care plan prior to completion of our program. Furthermore, our Alumni & Transitional Care Coordinator (ATCC) will continue the relationship with ASR by providing support and coaching to fulfill and maintain the transition care plan.

Research has demonstrated that the quality of the transition from out-of-home care to the next environment plays a substantial role in optimizing the chances of success. Alumni & Transitional Care Services provides support and coaching for graduates and families for the first six months of this transition. During this time, it is reassuring for graduates and their parents to have regular telephone and e-mail contact with someone who knows their history, accomplishments, and aspirations and can encourage them during times of doubt and hesitation.
